Signature Membership
Signature Membership reflects the recognition of the quality of your work through a juried process. You must first become an Associate Member by submitting an Application and paying the appropriate dues. Then submit five pieces of artwork that represent a consistent body of your work to an anonymous Review Committee that meets at announced times during a year. Upon gaining acceptance as a Signature Member, you will be billed to bring your dues up to Signature level. Review dates and additional details are listed on the Signature Review web page.
Out-of-Town Membership
Out-of-Town membership is for individuals residing 75 miles or more from Cincinnati. Members only pay $45 and membership keeps you on the Roster and entitles you to receive the Dragonfly newsletter but excludes attendance at most ongoing activities. But, if you’re in town let us know and feel free to attend any scheduled activity along with local membership.
Annual Dues - Payable May 1 Each Year
Regardless of when you become a Member, membership fees are due May 1 of every year. For unpaid Dues, Member names will be removed from the Roster on July 1 of every year. Please use the Membership Renewal Form to pay Dues or to make changes to update your address, email, phone, or website. Please also let us know if you would prefer to receive information via regular mail or email. You’re welcome to print out the Form and mail it attention Membership at the Cincinnati Art Club or include the Form information in an email addressed to the Membership Chairperson.
