We are thrilled you are considering a membership with us. We encourage all local artists who are interested in exhibiting their work to apply for a membership with GAP. Please be sure to download and read the guidelines prior to applying, and follow the process outlined below. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Types of Membership
We offer two types of membership for local artists. Volunteer Exhibiting Artists agree to a 50% reduction in the yearly membership fee in exchange for three shifts per month assisting in the gallery (approximately 3.5-4 hours a shift).
Exhibiting Artists pay the full annual fee and are not required to volunteer. Membership fees do not include exhibit fees which will be collected for each show.
