Becoming a member of the Society for Artistic Research (SAR) comes with a number of benefits, including reduced participation fees at conferences, free access to RC webinars and the opportunity to set up and take part in SAR's Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Members also receive a discount on the SARA announcement service.

These benefits are enjoyed personally by individual members. Institutional members receive them for all their employees.

SAR membership applies to the calendar year. Renewal is possible 30 days before the end of the membership period.
