Membership: Q & A
When are annual dues collected?
Membership is from January through December of each year.
Are the dues prorated for partial years?
The dues are low and are generally not prorated. However, if someone joins in August of this year, a fee of $45 will allow coverage for the remaining of 2021 and all of 2022. If joining in November, the regular fee will cover through the next year.
How does one become a member?
There is an application at UVAL to be completed. Membership fee can be paid at the front desk, payable by check, credit card, or cash.
Who is included in family membership?
In most cases, family membership includes a spouse and/or child living in the same household. Adult children and or other "family" living in another household should register their own membership.
Can children be members?
Children in Middle School will be accepted but they must be accompanied by a parent for appropriate supervision. High school students join with the understanding that safety is critical while working at UVAL and knowing that UVAL may restrict some activities for students. Anyone under 18 will need parental permission to join.
Can members bring their friends?
Membership is required to exhibit in the gallery and to use the facilities in the annex. However, members may wish to bring a guest to experience the benefits of membership--join in a clay activity, meet the paper crafter group, find out what the watercolor group is planning, be introduced to other members, etc. Have them get informed before deciding to join. We welcome inquiry.
