About
Membership Information
The Vancouver Art Guild was created by and for visual artists. Membership is maintained at 32 to facilitate organization of activities and meetings and to allow members greater opportunity for meaningful interaction. The Guild has a waiting list and interviews new members when a vacancy occurs.
Non members are invited to participate in the Painter’s Art Studio on Wednesday afternoons.
Benefits of membership include:
- Access to art classes, workshops, lectures, tours and trips.
- Opportunities to exhibit and sell artwork.
- Access to Guild events and meetings.
Members are required to have a solid grounding in composition, mediums, techniques and colour theory. Several Vancouver community centres offer courses covering these topics at a reasonable cost.
The inaugural membership is $100, which includes a one-time initiation fee. After the first year the annual membership fee is $25.
