Our members support Art & Soul through their mutuality and financial commitment. When you join us, you help keep our studio doors open as a safe container for self-discovery and organic expression.
As a member, you are welcome to use the space for creative exploration whenever scheduled classes or special events are not running.
If you are looking to connect with an inviting, down-to-earth group of artists, we would love to have you. Look over the logistical details below, and let us know if you have any questions.

Because we value commonality over hierarchy, we ask all members to volunteer one to three hours each month. This can be spent helping studio teams, maintaining the space, or supporting community events.
Friends of Art & Soul
If you want to support our mission but do not need studio access, you can make a one-time or recurring monthly contribution of any amount. This tier does not include member benefits, but it directly funds our scholarship programs and keeps artmaking accessible to all.
Leadership & Board Access
Our Board of Directors meets monthly to navigate business logistics and support the studio's long-term health. Board elections take place annually during our November member meeting. All members are always welcome to attend monthly board sessions and stay involved in the process.
