Applying for Signature Membership
SIGNATURE MEMBER - Annual Dues $35
In addition to the benefits of Artist membership, Signature members may:
• Have two images displayed on a Gallery Page on the MPS website;
• Be a "Featured Artist" in the MPS quarterly news update; and
• Serve on the MPS Executive Board.
There are two paths to Signature Membership:
1. Automatic: Artist members of the MPS in good standing are eligible for Signature membership after being accepted into three MPS juried exhibitions, calculated retroactively to the MPS's 2011 Shades of Pastel show. Eligibility is granted after being accepted into three separate shows; it is not based on the number of paintings juried into any single show. You will be sent an application to accept the position.
2. Self nomination: MPS members in good standing may submit work to be juried. (Read on about becoming an Artist member.) The MPS Jury Committee reviews applications four times a year and provides recommendations to the MPS Executive Board for consideration. Application deadlines and board meeting dates are listed on our website Calendar. The membership coordinator forwards the results to you after the board renders its decision at their quarterly meeting. If accepted, you will confirm your Signature status by paying $10.00, the difference in membership dues from an Artist member. If you have any questions, please Contact the Membership Coordinator.
