Join Artmap

Friend of Artmap, this is for people who support the aims of Artmap Argyll, but do not wish to become members. Join now

Associate Members, artists who support the aims of Artmap and are in the early stages of their career. They may not have the skills or experience to join as a full member at this time. Artists aged 25 or under can join for a reduced fee. Join now

Full Members, artists who meet the quality criteria determined by Artmap Argyll. Full Members are included in the pool of artists who can potentially earn income by participating in projects managed by Artmap Argyll. Join now

Artist open studios, are Full Member artists who open their studios during the annual open studios event. This is an opportunity for high profile promotion of artists working in Argyll. Join now. Artists who are already Full Members can upgrade if they wish to open their studios.

All members have a profile page on the web site and receive updates with information and invitations to workshops, events, meetings and social gatherings. Artists taking part in events organised by Artmap Argyll, including Open Studios, are covered by our public liability insurance (artists who exhibit on a regular basis are advised to arrange their own insurance cover).

The membership year runs from 1 September. Members joining in the last three months of the membership year (June, July and August) will have membership for the following year. Membership handbook.

Group memberships

Groups and organisations can take part in the annual opens studios event and other Artmap activities by joining with these specific membership types.

Venue open studios, are locations where organisations have a space artists can share or artists work together in one location. They are often a stepping stone towards artists taking part in their own right as individual open studios. Examples include hotels, museums, galleries, community halls, local charities and landowners. Join now.

Art Club open studios, are a route by which local art clubs can take part to showcase work and draw in more visitors and potential members. The Clubs are also another way for individual artists to gain confidence before opening their own studio space. Join now.

Please contact us at members@artmapargyll.co.uk if you would like more information on membership.
