Membership Dues Information
New Member Dues
Annual Membership Dues for artists and students are collected upon acceptance into the Society. Members admitted between January 1 and September 1 pay full membership dues for the year in which they are admitted, and during the annual membership renewal period each year thereafter.
Late Dues
Artist Members late in their annual membership dues, less than 2 years, can initiate reinstatement of their membership benefits by making a payment and contacting the Membership Chair.
Late dues payment will result in loss of membership privileges, such as the complimentary copy of the journal, suspension of portfolio page, and eligibility for other exhibitions and programs.
Please note: dues payments made after January 31* take longer to process and result in delayed reinstatement of benefits. *(Aug 1 for members admitted during the summer portfolio review)
Lapsed Membership
Former Artist members who have allowed their membership to lapse, more than 2 years non-payment, and wish to be reinstated must reapply following the current portfolio review guidelines:
- Artist and Student Portfolio Review Process.
- Friend, Institutional and Business Membership Benefits and Dues Renewal.
