IAS Membership Campaign continues through 31 December 2015

On September 2, 2015 we launched the Italian Art Society’s “Campaign for 500,” which continues through December 31, 2015. We have now reached our goal, and, as of November 2, 2015, we have 504 members, an historic high! Thanks to everyone for making the “Campaign for 500” a wonderful success. We would, of course, be thrilled to have even more new or renewing lapsed members, so please encourage friends and colleagues to join us. With many benefits and even more great initiatives in the works, this is a great time to join the IAS since a membership purchased by December 31, 2015 is valid until January 1, 2017, providing extra months of membership.  Membership options begin at $20.00 for graduate students, $30.00 for regular members, with Patron and Benefactor levels also available.
