ABOUT MEMBERSHIP
Did you know that all the procedures and forms you might need are on this page?
Trail's End Art Association is a non-profit and is governed by members who are elected to the Board by membership. There are 4 general meetings a year for all members. Comments and suggestions are always welcome at the monthly Board Meetings and everyone is welcome. Bylaws are available for review.
Member Benefits and Responsibilities
Take a look at our Member Orientation page that includes the complete New Member Orientation Manual and an accompanying video.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities depend on what level of membership level chosen, and shows the fee for a full year. From July-December of each year, the fee is 1/2 the cost of a full year.
Some may choose to staff (or "sit") the Gallery for a lower membership fee and lower commission on their art sales. Please see this Policy on Sitting. Some may choose Alternative Membership, which carries no "sitting" requirement but includes higher membership fees and higher gallery commission on their art sales. But in all cases, this is a volunteer organization and members are required to contribute in some way, based on their preference. A full list of potential volunteer areas can be found on the membership form. More information on the levels of membership benefits and responsibilities can be found HERE.
