Membership In The OAS

Membership in the OAS runs from September 1st to August 31st. Members are professional and emerging artists, and art lovers who help support and promote the arts. Open studio space is available on Fridays at Friday Painters for members to work on their creations and share ideas. Throughout the year, there are also opportunities to socialize, display and sell your work. As an OAS Member, you’ll receive a discount on classes, workshops, entry fees, art supplies, and framing!
