Exhibiting $95 / year

Unlocks entry to juried exhibitions. Once you are a Supporting member you apply with a portfolio of your work, which is juried by the FCA. A $15 application fee applies, and on acceptance you pay the $30 difference to upgrade.

AFCA & SFCA Elected

Associate (AFCA) and Signature (SFCA) are elected status levels. Exhibiting members earn them by being accepted into juried exhibitions over time, then passing a peer jury. They are awarded, not purchased.
