We welcome you.

Memberships

At LEAF, you'll join a global community rooted in cultural curiosity, education, and preservation. All powered by people who believe in the arts. As a member, you become part of the team that keeps these traditions alive, both locally in Asheville and across our international programs.

LEAF membership offers year-round engagement with cultures, artists, and educators from around the world. Your membership deepens understanding, builds lasting connections, and creates real impact for individuals and communities alike — while connecting you directly to the work.

One of the most meaningful ways to be part of this is through a thoughtful LEAF membership. Every contribution directly fuels our programs, extending far beyond the festival itself. Through LEAF International, your membership supports the preservation of cultural traditions across 10 countries. Through LEAF Schools & Streets, your membership helps bring arts education into local classrooms and community programs. And through the Artists Relief Fund, your membership plays a role in delivering direct financial support to musicians and visual artists recovering from the Helene floods.
