Benefits

We are a community of artists, teachers, and life-long learners, who enjoy creating and sharing art. 

Basic membership is $40 per year. Gallery display privileges are an additional $20 per year.

Spending time with fellow artist is an excellent way to recharge your creative battery. During classes, open studios, and member meetings you can find people who will excite you with their unique creations and inspire you to new ideas. Members have access to the member directory.

We have three Open Studios most weeks. Open Studios are free to ASA members. Guest are welcome for their first visit.

Our facilitators donate their time and expertise to these weekly classes, and donations are always welcome.

Participants should have an entry level knowledge of the process, tools and supplies. Our facilitator, Rosemary Wood-Hemm, will teach safety and guide you in using tools in making your art piece. There is no formal instruction during the open studio.

Glass and grout are supplied so donations for replacement costs are appreciated.

The ASA Mosaic Guild meets once a month for guild business meetings. 

Bonnie Holubetz is the facilitator, but everyone is both student and teacher.

No experience is necessary. Artists work in both acrylic and watercolor. Bring your own materials. 

Get on Bonnie's email list as she sends out photo inspiration each week for the following Wednesday.

Donations welcome.

Arlon Gilliland will plan a painting project for members to follow along. He demonstrates different techniques, methods and subjects using watercolor and acrylic. Members may also bring their own projects to work on, get advice and coaching.

No materials provided. Bring your own paint brushes and substrate. 

Donations welcome.

ASA has a large, comfortable classroom with easy access to cleanup. When the ASA classroom is not in use for scheduled events or classes, members can request time to work on personal projects. If the space is open, confirm with the Classroom Scheduler.

The Artists' Studio Association hosts two galleries.

The first, in the "front" of the building, is occupied by the Pacific Artists' Co-Op Gallery. This group conducts the sales for all the art in the building.

The second, in the "back", is in the same space as the classroom. The Artists' Studio Gallery is a place for ASA members to display and sell artwork. ASA members who wish to take advantage of this feature pay an annual $20 display privilege fee and a small commission for each item sold.

The gallery opening and artist's reception is held on the second Friday of January, April, July and October. 

Have a question? Need some direction? Curious about a new technique or product? You can post a question on the member forum and spark a conversation. Members can sign up for forums through their personal member profile.  

All active members are invited to participate in the annual, juried art show. Judges evaluate each piece and award ribbons. Visitors vote on the People's Choice Award.
