Membership

Individual/Family Membership

A membership with Bardavon Presents offers exclusive privileges at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC), and other locations where we present live performances throughout the Hudson Valley.

Members have access to members-only presales before tickets go on sale to the general public — providing the very first opportunity to secure the best seats at the best prices. Many performances sell out during the member presale period, making early access one of the most valued benefits of membership.

Most importantly, membership donations directly support Bardavon’s mission to make high-quality arts performances accessible to everyone in our community. Your support helps sustain live performances, arts education programs, and cultural enrichment across the region.

Join or renew today and be part of something special.
