New Artist Member Application Process
Part One is a Pre-Application Review and shall consist of five images of artwork, either digital or photographic print, not to exceed 5" x 7", to be submitted on June 30, 2010, together with a written application and a $15.00 Pre-Application fee. No slides will be accepted.
If approved by the jury in the Pre-Application review, the applicant will be invited to participate in Part Two of the Application process by presenting five original works of art to the entire jury panel on August 31, 2010 with an additional $15.00 jury fee. The five pieces of art do not have to be the same five submitted in the pre-application process, but must be available for sale.
All fees are non-refundable but any portion of the application fee ($15.00 or $30.00) may, at the request of the applicant, be applied to the following year's Associate or Artist Membership dues.
In an effort to assist the artist applicant in learning from this experience, following the jury review, any applicant who is not accepted for artist membership shall have the opportunity to meet some members of the jury in person for a face to face critique of their artwork.
Getting Involved
North Shore Arts Association is more than just an art gallery . It is an association of artists who work together to keep the association operating but also to help each other grow as artists. Members are needed to help with everyday activities but can also choose to serve on jury panels, conduct critique sessions, give workshops and demonstrations or teach children.
Therefore Artist Member Applicants should demonstrate their commitment to NSAA by becoming an actively involved Associate Member first before applying for artist membership. The form to join as an Associate Member is here. It is important for each applicant to document his or her involvement by filling out a volunteer time sheet form available at the front desk.
Application for Artist Membership can be made during the first year of Associate Membership. Download a 2010 New Member Application Form or obtained from one of the gallery staff.
