Artist Members are distinguished from our regular members by having been accepted into a juried competition at the SCAA, which qualifies them for a Member Invitational exhibit.  See qualifications for a Member Invitational Exhibit here.

$30 Student/Military/Family

Active military and students receive a discounted membership.

$68 General Member

Our regular membership for artists and appreciators provides discounts on classes and the knowledge that you contribute to and are part of a wonderful community devoted to the arts. 

​​Each member of a Member’s (or Artist Member) household who wishes to receive member benefits can purchase an ​Additional Household Membership at the reduced price of $30.

higher level memberships

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.
