Artspace is a non-profit gallery for the visual and performing arts, supported and operated by its membership. Membership categories for artists include Artist Member, Supporting Artist Member, Performing Artist Member (new candidates are recommended by current Artist Members and voted on by the present membership - application form not necessary) and On-Leave Artist Member (available for current membership only - application form not necessary). Definitions of these membership categories and the privileges and responsibilities of each are detailed in the "Artspace Membership Categories" below. Undergraduates are not eligible for membership.
All new artist applicants are required to submit an artist statement, slides and original works. These items will be subject to a review, discussion, and vote by the current artist members. Applicants have the option of presenting their work in person at a regularly scheduled meeting (2nd Thurs. of the month) subject to approval by the Board of Directors. Slides should be labeled with artist's name, slide number and top of slide indicated for proper viewing. A slide list should include your name, slide numbers, title of works, years of creation, mediums and sizes. If no slide list is included, please include as much of this information as possible on the slides themselves. All original artwork should include a label with artist's name.
To apply for an artist membership at Artspace, please fill out the following form and include it with your submission for membership. Deliver all submission items to the gallery during regular business hours or by appointment. No fee is required to apply for membership; however your first month's dues (based on the membership category you select) are expected to be paid at the first meeting you attend after acceptance. If you are not selected as an artist member at this time, you may reapply after one year from the date of your initial application and once a year thereafter.
