Membership in the Luminary Society is based on annual donations to Sweetwater Center for the Arts. Membership lasts 12 months from the date the qualifying donation amount is received. Gifts may be donated annually, pledged, or paid over a 12-month period with monthly contributions.

Membership will be based on your annual contribution to The Luminary Society. In contrast, you can also forgo the discount benefits of a Sweetwater membership and receive the full tax deduction of your gift.

Sweetwater Center for the Arts is a federal tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization that works to encourage participation in the arts through unique programming. The value of goods and services for a Luminary Society membership is estimated to be $60 annually. The remainder of the contribution is tax-deductible.
