Become a North Bank Artists Member
Established as a non-profit organization with a mission of supporting visual artists and providing community outreach and education in the arts, North Bank Artists is always interested in new members. While the gallery does offer affordable studio space, renting a studio is NOT a requirement of membership in the organization.
“Affiliate Members” (those without work space at the gallery) pay $50 a month in dues in lieu of rent, and have equal say at the monthly membership meetings.
New members are juried in through our membership committee, and are promised a show within the first two years of their membership. Participation on at least one committee is required. Please see the membership application for more information.
