Four Ways to Belong to TAG

Two tiers are built for exhibiting artists, and two are built for the neighbors and makers who keep the gallery running. Pick the one that matches how involved you want to be — you can always change tiers la

Membership is what keeps the doors open, one artist at a time."

What you get, no matter which tier

Some perks are specific to a level — these come standard the moment you join TAG.

Gallery

Exposure

Your work is seen by everyone who walks into 200 Prince Street — locals, river-town tourists, and buyers alike.

A community of working artists

Critiques, studio time, and everyday conversation with painters, potters, and makers who take the work seriously.

Discounted classes & workshops

Members pay less for the guild's own colored-pencil, plein air, and studio sessions throughout the year.

A hand in a

Main Street landmark

Dues and volunteer hours go straight toward keeping a working gallery alive in downtown Tappahannock.

First word on shows

& open calls

Members hear about new exhibits, juried shows, and sale events before they're posted publicly.

A voice in how

TAG grows

Vote on programming, shows, & guild decisions, your membership has a say, not just a spot on the wall.

Not Sure Which One Fits?

Send a note to the membership committee and someone will help you sort it out — no wrong answer, just different levels of involvement. Tell them how much wall space you're after, how often you can volunteer, and whether you're looking to exhibit or just stay in the loop, and they'll point you to the right tier.
