NSA Membership
North Somerset Arts runs a 2-year membership programme, which includes Arts Week in the first year and our Member's Exhibition in the second year. The current membership period is from November 2022 to November 2024. We are offering discounted membership as there is less than a year left for this membership term. Please email hello@northsomersetarts.org for the current fees.
Individual Membership November 2022 - November 2024 As Arts Week happens every two years, our membership scheme lasts two years; we’ve looked long and hard at the scheme’s structure for individual artists with a view to making it viable for as many people as possible. We’ve tried to minimise our costs in a difficult economic climate and we’re pleased to announce that despite inflation, the cost will not be rising from previous years, with two instalments: £75 to be paid by 14th November £75 to be paid by 31st January Or if you’re able to pay upfront, a one-off payment of £145 by 14th November. The price includes the following benefits: Participation in Arts Week 2023 Members’ exhibitions Free admission to all our Artsmeets Website members listing Chances to showcase your work to over a thousand supporters and followers Opportunity to be the featured artist in our monthly newsletter Collaborative art project opportunities Collaboration with other art groups Free event and artist opportunities in our newsletter Support for artists across North Somerset Connecting you with local artists Participation in fun NSA social and fundraising events The latest information on art events and opportunities Expectations of individual members: Members are expected to steward events/exhibitions they are taking part in. NSA is a volunteer led organisation and will from time to time ask for volunteers from the membership to help organise / set up events and exhibitions. Members will be expected to meet deadlines set by NSA when taking part in or applying to take part in events and exhibitions. Members will be expected to help in the distribution of brochures for any event/exhibition they take part in as well as helping to spread the word through their own marketing channels (e.g. word of mouth, social media and any other opportunity available to them).
