membership

​We invite you to be our guest at a meeting, to join, or to renew your membership.  
​Read all the benefits and click to join our family of artists.

Whether in a grand studio or a corner of a room, we are alone at the easel.
​That isolation tells us to take a break, get out and be around other artists.

​We need to talk with our peers, to see how our work stacks up against others, to learn, evolve, and get better together in this wonderful art journey.

SPECIAL for members only

PSST has a password enabled section just for members.
Want to watch all the previous artist demos? Enjoy special links and resources?

​It's all there:  zoom demos from 2020 to present, 
​like Bethany Fields, Karen Margulis, Aaron Scheurr, ​Dawn Emerson, Lana Ballot, Debora Stewart, and so many more.​
