New members enter as Associate Members. After a year of Associate Membership in good standing, Associate Members will be invited to become Artist Members, with added privileges and responsibilities. The PAC offers approximately 47 hours a week of model time at no cost to members. The daily open studio offers no instruction but present a wonderful opportunity to develop and master techniques already learned and to encounter the perspectives and techniques of other artists. Participants are welcome to use any medium.
Members receive discounts on classes and visiting-artist workshops held each year.
Members with teaching experience or credentials may be eligible to rent space to teach a class. These exhibitions require a small hanging fee per piece submitted. Members may also apply to coordinate their own individual or group show. More than a dozen private studios are available for Artist Members to rent. Both buildings are open to members seven days a week, and any available space may be reserved through the office for member use.
