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! Our goal is to create a year-round sense of community and expand visibility for our member artists through more advertising, social media, and events beyond the annual Santa Fe Studio Tour. We plan to expand benefits as we grow.
COST OF MEMBERSHIP: ARTIST MEMBERS $50 + NON-ARTIST MEMBERS $35
- Artist members will get a $25 Santa Fe Studio Tour discount. You must join the SFSAC by
June 15, 2022 to receive the Tour discount when you register for the Tour.
- Non-artist members will have opportunities for special events to meet artists and to visit the SFST Preview Gallery before it opens to the public.
Some 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.
Memberships are renewable on an annual basis – every year on April 15. Neither artist members nor non-artist members have voting rights in the operation of the SFSAC.
