nalgao membership benefits
Being a member of nalgao means being part of a large nationwide network. With 400 Local Authorities, cultural and arts organisations from across the UK as members, nalgao is the largest organisation in the country representing local government arts interests. We now have almost 85% of all local authorities with an arts or culturally related service in corporate membership.
Being a member of nalgao means being part of a regional network. Apart from the Society's Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, the nalgao Trustees Committee is entirely made up of regional representatives. Local members meet together regionally and their views are represented by their regional representatives at Executive meetings. Local members can therefore directly inform the National Executive's decisions and direction.
Being a member of nalgao means being part of a growing network and a growing profession. The number of Arts Officers being appointed by local authorities is continuing to increase.
Being a member of nalgao means having access to a network of specialists. Some local authorities do not yet have arts specialists, yet they are being asked to respond to requests for information, advice and grant aid; they are expected to produce Arts Policies and Strategies; they are being asked to help organise or market Arts events and activities. Most nalgao members are Arts specialists and they can be called on for practical help and advice. Being a member of the Association also means that you will have access to new training and research projects that nalgao may from time to time commission; it also means enjoying the relationship that nalgao has with many national arts and government organisations.
Being a member of nalgao means being part of an organisation that has direct experience of working with the Arts locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. It means being part of an organisation whose members work on projects of every possible type and scale; from working with a small group of people with special needs to organising events involving thousands, and from working with budgets of a few hundred pounds to working on major Arts projects with capital expenditure involving millions.
Access to the member’s area of the nalgao website at Link with many member-only access areas including a full directory and email/contact details of individual and corporate members.

All of this is only available to members, and a password will be issued to each member for access.
Being a member of nalgao gives you access to a weekly e-zine, full of information and opportunities for members to appeal for information on key issues and areas of arts delivery on work that you may need an extra opinion on. There are also sections for you to advertise job vacancies and commissions free of charge.
Being a member of nalgao also gives you access to a magazine issued as a minimum twice yearly, and research bulletins and other information sheets that the Association may commission. Many sheets are already available on the members-only area of our website. It means being part of an organisation whose members have experience of working in every imaginable kind of setting, from hospitals to hillsides, and schools to swimming pools, with every kind of creative experience from CD-ROM to choral concerts and South Indian dance to art-designed street lighting.
