Artists are welcome to reapply as often as once per year.

Upon acceptance into our membership, all members are required to adhere to the following guidelines:

Treat each other with kindness and consideration.
Pay the $15.00 annual membership fee upon acceptance. June membership dues will be prorated at $7.50. Full membership fees will be due once a year in January there after.
Members must list one item a month for our sponsored charities and post the URL in our forum.

If you are a charitable animal organization:

The charities on our list are those that have been selected and researched by our artist members. We will not be adding new charities in the foreseeable future since we want to be able to support these charities without spreading our resources too thin. We know that there are many worthy animal charities out there and certainly wish we could help them all, of course that isn't possible, so we've chosen to focus our efforts on a limited number.
