ASA Membership Rates for 2025 Announced

The ASA Board of Trustees, at its meeting October 23, 2024, voted to increase membership rates for 2025 by $5/year for all categories of membership. Members can beat the price increase by renewing in December 2024. Members can also save money by switching to two or three year memberships.

Green memberships: The most economical rates are GREEN for all categories of membership (Regular, Emeritus, Student, Unemployed). Green members receive all benefits of ASA membership except that they do not receive a print copy of the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism (JAAC). Green members have access to all on-line issues of JAAC with this membership. 

Lifetime memberships: For green lifetime membership, the price remains at $2000. For those wishing to receive the print Journal, lifetime memberships remain at $2500.

Members having problems logging into their account to renew their membership or needing help to switch their membership from print to green should contact secretary-treasurer@aesthetics-online.org
