Membership FAQs

ITC memberships are open to companies and individuals who  are making professional work and share our values. If you’re unsure if ITC membership is right for you, please get in touch with the team for a conversation on  020 7403 1727 or admin@itc-arts.org

Whether you are an incorporated company or not, you are welcome to join, and we can assist with incorporation when you are ready.

Organisational members, including hub, associates, and academics,  benefit from multiple logins, enabling colleagues  across your team to independently access the numerous benefits of ITC membership .

Individual Membership for Freelance Producers. Our Individual Membership is tailored for freelance producers or artists who align with ITC values and seek guidance on managing their operations and employing staff. As ITC welcomes an increasing number of producers, we strive to meet their specific needs. While our membership often provides the right fit, there are instances where we might recommend union membership for those needing freelancer support.

We cannot advise you on behalf of another organisation you are working for if they are not a member. However, if you refer them to join ITC, we can offer them an introductory discount. For more details, please contact Zoe to discuss further.

  • Access to our help sheets and template contracts
  • Our regular newsletters and industry updates

In addition, the artists and companies you support can receive 20% off their first year of full membership.
