How to become a member
As a member of the CSArt Library, you may check out one piece of art at a time. You may keep it for as long as 4 months, or may exchange it for another any time the Library is open.
It's kind of like taking a piece of art on a date and spending time with it before you choose to go steady ;-)
When you fall madly in love with one of your library pieces, it can be purchased! And here's the exciting part: Half of all of the money from your membership fee is being saved for you to buy a piece of locally created, original art!
Members benefit by:
* Having local art in your home or business while saving for original pieces.
* Supporting local artists through a novel gallery system where artists make 70% of sales instead of 50% that is common in most galleries.
* Supporting the Blue Sage Center for the Arts and Elsewhere Studios’ Artist Residency Program, that brings artists into our local community from all over the world
MEMBERSHIP RATES
Regular membership: $20/month
* $10 of this is saved as credit towards purchase of art
* $5/month more for each extra piece checked out
Sliding scale: $11 - $19/month
* $1 to $9 is saved as credit towards purchase of art
* May not check out extra pieces
Policy on using credit towards purchase:
* Credit accrues as long as member is current
* Credit must be used within TWO months of member cancellation
* If member chooses not to make purchase, credit may be gifted to an active member or a participating artist or donated to Elsewhere Studios or Blue Sage
* No Refunds
