Membership in Salmagundi Club opens the door to an exhilarating world of art: colorful gallery exhibitions; painting demonstrations by nationally recognized artists; classes in drawing and painting; and a host of social activities.

As an artist-member you have the opportunity to exhibit your work in four to six exhibitions a year, including the Spring and Fall Auction Exhibitions in which members' paintings are auctioned off for the mutual benefit of the artist and the Club. It also brings you in touch with other artist-members with similar interests and provides you with access to the Club's extensive art library. Member dues are often paid for by procedes earned from sales of artwork.

Lay members to patron members with an interest in the world of art are welcomed and find the friendly atmosphere conductive to learning about art, including taking classes in drawing and painting, or just enjoying the relaxing and convivial Club House, home for numerous fun-filled social activities.

The landmark brownstone headquarters at 47 Fifth Avenue in Greenwhich Village - historic spawning ground for so many great American artists - is a gracious center which provides the comfort of a contemporary club in surroundings of elegant and aesthetic appeal. The Dining Room and the relaxing Grill Room are available for members and their guests. The extraordinary Victorian Parlor is also open for special occasions.

As the Club is a tax-exempt charitable organization serving the public with free art programs, contributions in support of Salmagundi Club are tax deductible according to law.

Sponsorship may be arranged for new applicants for membership. All applications are submitted to the Admissions Committe for consideration, and the work of candidates for artist membership is also reviewed by the Art Committee.
