Mission: Provide educational enrichment and appreciation of the visual arts.

The Amarillo Art Institute Membership offers the opportunity to be more involved in the promotion and celebration of the Institute.  There are many perks to being a Member of AAI, including “First Firday”, special sneak previews of events such as receptions for artists, and the annual student art show and sale, and other fun events throughout the year.  You can sign up to be a member online, over the phone, or in person at the Institute.

All AAI members and contributors are vital to the success of our institute. Your support ensures our ability to continue to encourage, inspire, educate, and promote visual arts in the Amarillo Community. Thank you for your donations and on-going support, and please take full advantage of the benefits offered to you. We exist for you, and because of you!

AAI members receive discounts on classes, seminars, and facility rentals. AAI also offers the occasional Free-to-Members Saturday Seminars. Membership levels at $100 or higher receive additional benefits such as exclusive invitations to artists receptions and other AAI special events.
