An annual Participation assessment is expected from all members of each artist group. The amount is $30 for general membership and the first group chosen; plus $20 for each additional group selected. See Join Us for more information.

Contact us through our email address info@centralcoastartistscollective.org to opt out of membership.

We will continue to work with the museum.  Each group is expected to have an exhibition during the year curated by SLOMA in the newly refurbished Nybak Gallery. Both organizations are busy with their independent directions, but will jointly determine mutually beneficial programs.

The Artists Collective is formed as Unincorporated Non-profit Association, not the more familiar 501c(3). This means that it is not a Membership organization and donations to it cannot be claimed as a tax deduction by the donor. A Membership organization, like a 501c(3), means that the members vote on policies. The only voting Members of our Collective are the individual artist group's Presidents, who can vote on Collective policies. When an artist signs up, they become a "member" of the artist group they choose, and they become a "participant" in the Collective. We use participant for the Collective to make it clear to the taxman that we understand the distinction as it could affect our non-profit status.
