Ways to Give
Become a Member
Your membership contribution helps in a variety of ways: upkeep of studios and other facilities, operational expenses, upgrades to infrastructure, and environmental stewardship of our 230-acre campus.
Members receive workshop tuition and gallery purchase discounts.
Give Your Time as a Volunteer
Hosting over 100 workshops, symposiums, and special events per season, and with 230 woodland acres to manage, Touchstone is always looking for an extra hand (or ten) to help with various campus and administrative tasks. We’ll reach out as volunteer opportunities arise.
