Your annual membership fee of $25 provides each artist with a photo and link on our website (https://www.tarriverarts.com/artists), opportunities to teach workshops at TRAC, priority registration and placement at the Jingle Mingle, opportunities to join shows and sales…all with NO commission fees. We regularly refer customers looking for commission pieces or art teachers to our artist directory to help connect the community to our artists, so your artist membership can pay for itself! We plan to update our artist page next week with current members and we would love to have you onboard!
