The Board of the Santa Fe Studio Arts Collective (SFSAC), a New Mexico 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, which promotes the annual Santa Fe Studio Tour (SFST), is excited to announce that we are expanding our opportunities for artists and art lovers by becoming a membership organization!
We welcome artists from all different backgrounds which provides a richer experience for us all! Artists must be residents of Santa Fe County. Our goal is to create a year-round sense of community and expand visibility for our member artists through more promotion, social media, and events beyond the annual Santa Fe Studio Tour. As we grow, we plan to expand benefits.
COST OF MEMBERSHIP: ARTIST MEMBERS $50 + NON-ARTIST MEMBERS $35
Volunteer help for SFSAC activities and/or for the Santa Fe Studio Tour is encouraged as the need arises. You are not required to be a member to participate in the Studio Tour, but we certainly hope that you join to enjoy all the benefits of being a member of a unique art community here in Santa Fe.
Please note that Membership is on an annual basis and must be renewed by March 15th every year to receive the discount benefit for the Tour. SFSAC membership is a single artist membership not a studio membership. If there is more than one artist in a studio each artist must apply separately for a membership.
Also, if you were on a past Studio Tour that does not automatically make you a member. That is a separate application. You do not need to be a member to be part of the Tour, but in order to receive the benefits/discount you must be a member.
Neither artist members nor non-artist members have voting rights in the operation of the SFSAC.
