Join the 1926 Club Today!
The UNITED is a non-profit 501(c)(3) regional center for arts and arts education in Westerly, Rhode Island, showcasing world-class performing, visual, and creative work. Reincarnated from a 1926 vaudeville theatre, our new, state-of-the-art facility consists of three movie theaters, one large black box balconied auditorium, an art gallery and events space, and a music school, the RI Phil Music School @ the UNITED.
With a mission to “unite the community through the arts,” the UNITED draws from an expansive audience of various ages with a shared love of the arts and arts education in its many forms – including film, live music, theatre, opera, comedy, dance, visual arts, lectures, and more.
We invite you to become a supporter and stakeholder in our organization by joining our 1926 Club. 1926 Club membership at all levels includes an invitation to the UNITED Annual Meeting in the fall – an exclusive gathering of UNITED members celebrating our past and toasting our future. Beginning at the Carte Blanche level, membership benefits also include offerings from our sister venue, the Knickerbocker, a storied music club, and our neighbor The Café, featuring beloved longtime classics with meticulously sourced ingredients and diligent technique.
At all levels, membership in the 1926 Club enhances your experience at the UNITED, and allows us to continue to grow as your home for even more dynamic programming, educational opportunities, and world class artistry. We thank you for your support!
