Membership Registration
Annual Membership Registration and Renewal
Current artist members (Active and Inactive) are required to register annually by 30 June in either category. (If a member is resigning, please email the Membership Coordinator or artlendingofottawa@gmail.com) If payment is not received by 01 July, it is presumed that you have withdrawn. Registration includes completing and submitting a membership application form updating contact information and payment of a registration fee $125. for active members and $25. for inactive members. Inactive membership ensures that an artist can become active the following year without being juried in again.
New applicants who are applying to join ALO, do not fill this form until notified. New Juried In Members will be notified by the ALO Membership Coordinator sometime in July to complete their membership registration based on space available. If space is not available at that time, their name will be held until a space is available.
Reminder of ALO membership policies:
There is no refund of membership fee once paid.
All active and new members are expected to volunteer for the ALO by assisting at art shows (training is arranged) or assisting with Board responsibilities (ie. Executive positions, committee participation, budget planning and marketing); indicating your experience and interest on Membership Application form.
