Established in 2017, The 501 was created to recognize and engage MIAC’s most dedicated supporters. In 2021, The Silver Circle was introduced to expand this premier membership opportunity to a broader community of arts patrons.

These societies unite individuals who share a commitment to the performing arts, ensuring that MIAC continues to bring world-class programming to the Erie region. In appreciation of their support, members receive a range of exclusive benefits designed to elevate their experience, including priority ticket access, invitations to private receptions, valet parking, and more.

Memberships for the upcoming season will be available beginning Monday, May 5. Current members who wish to retain or upgrade their seats must renew by Friday, June 20. New memberships will be processed in the order they are received.
