Artist Membership

Artist Member Information
To support our Artist members and improve the operations of PAN, we have reviewed our Artist membership policies and procedures and revised them in the following manner. We hope you will find this informational sheet to be helpful in understanding the changes that will be implemented. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Barbara Mason either by phone or email.

Membership Dues

Artist membership dues are $150 annually. Payment for full membership is due on Jan. 2nd. To assist members, you can pay half in January and the other half in July.

Payments may be made the following ways: Check, Credit Card on-line or in the Gallery, or PayPal on-line. You can email PAN for the password into the members only area for paying online.

Gallery Prints

Artists may have a total of 15 prints in the Gallery at any given time ( some may go to our satellite gallery as well) – three prints will be designated for outside exhibitions and matted appropriately.

We ask that each Artist member donate 1 print per year to PAN. This will assist in the fundraising efforts to support PAN as we continue to grow.

We encourage all Artist members to rotate their inventory to assist in sales of your prints and help keep the Gallery fresh.
