Automatic Renewal
We offer auto-renewal in which your membership will be conveniently renewed each year. If you would like this option, sign up for any of the memberships below and we'll send you an email with instructions to get started. You can cancel the auto-renewal before the next renewal date at any time by sending us an email.
Our membership for artists and appreciators provides member benefits and the knowledge that you contribute to a wonderful community devoted to the arts. To help us better serve you, let us know your interests by filling out the form below.

​Artist Members are distinguished from our regular members by having been accepted into a juried competition at SCAA, which qualifies them for a Member Invitational Exhibit (read about the qualifications here). Every selected artist for a juried exhibit will be automatically added as an Artist Member.
With our Family Membership, you can add on an additional household member for $30 who will also have access to all our member benefits. 
Current students, active military and veterans receive a discounted membership.
Higher level memberships help make up the difference between our operational needs and the income from our regular membership. With all the levels, your contribution is above and beyond our general membership and allows us to offer more programs and higher quality exhibits. Our sustaining, sponsor, patron and benefactor levels each have their own set of benefits.
 Please fill out this form.
