Interested in being part of something new and exciting?
Why not become a member and be the first in the know, plus benefits and discounts exclusive to our members
We have different types of membership to include everyone and to reflect the benefits that best support you. Whether you are an emerging artist just starting out, or someone wanting to find those exciting new designers from the region, perhaps you represent a local group that wants to work with us in the future or you are someone who wants to volunteer with us and join our little family? As a co-operative each member can get as involved as they want to from attending social get togethers all the way to sitting on the Board of Directors - the choice is yours, but the main thing is that each person has the same say in how things grow and develop as our members want it to. Please note that membership runs for the financial year from 1st April to 31st March and is renewable yearly, payments are pro rata during the year depending on when you join.
