2025 Member Events
We look forward to sharing an exciting Merola summer with you and a wonderful group of young artists. Below you will find the dates and benefit levels for 2025 Merola member events. This year instead of sending a sign-up form for all events in the spring, we will email you invitations to each event you are eligible for 3-4 weeks before the event (if we do not have an email address for you, we will reach out by phone or postal mail).
If you have questions about your membership level or wish to upgrade your membership in order to attend additional events, please contact Cristina Yim at cyim@merola.org or (415) 936-2323.
