CCS Bard members gain insight into new directions in contemporary art and access to the Hudson Valley’s vibrant arts and cultural landscape. Membership fosters close connections to the region’s creative community—including artists, cultural organizations, scholars, collectors, and initiatives at Bard College—while offering a meaningful relationship with an institution committed to advancing new ideas in art. CCS Bard membership is deeply linked to the Hessel Museum of Art, and member contributions directly support the Museum’s annual exhibitions.

If you would like to join a program or have any questions, please reach out to Victoria Chou at vchou@bard.edu or 845-758-7874.
