The Arts Council of Greater Grand Rapids launched its artist membership program in 2007. Annual feedback from artists has helped us to develop a membership program that addresses their needs.

•	Opportunities to exhibit in the Arts Council’s gallery. This includes FREE PR, postcards announcing the exhibit, and a complimentary opening reception.
•	Free workshops on various topics from how to protect intellectual property, to marketing and self-promotion.
•	The opportunity to post your online portfolio with links to your Web site.
•	Listing on our Web site’s searchable database.
•	Regular e-newsletters with Calls to Artists that include job listings, potential exhibits, etc.
•	Regular newsletters with information about upcoming events and opportunities.
•	Networking opportunities with other artists and arts organizations.
•	And frequent surveys to find out exactly what YOU need.
