New Membership Categories
Adopted at the Annual Business Meeting in May 2008:
Two Levels of AE Membership were adopted:
1. ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP:
Associate membership will be open to everyone joining as of January
1, 2009 who supplies a completed membership form and pays dues at the
current membership rate. One may join as an Associate Member at any
time of the year.
2. FULL MEMBERSHIP:
Full membership will be granted to those who can document two of the
four professional activities listed below and supply a resume/curriculum
vitae, an artist’s statement, and a completed membership form.
Professional Activity List:
1. Are represented by a commercial gallery or professional art representative
2. Have had three or more sales of their original artwork
3. Have exhibited in three or more juried/curated (non-student) shows
at a university or museum gallery, art center, artists co-op or commercial
gallery
4. Have graduated from a professional art program
Additional Benefits for Full Membership:
Full members will be listed separately in the Membership list and on
the AE web site. Full members may also request that AE link the organization
web site to their own artwork web site.
This screening of documentation for Full Membership requires a fee
of $25.00 (in addition to the current membership fee) to be submitted
by the artist.
Items to note as AE transitions the membership year to a calendar year
beginning January 1, 2009:
• AE members active as of January 1, 2009 will automatically be
classified as Full Members and will not need any documentation.
• Lapsed members as of January 1, 2009 will not be grandfathered
as Full members and can re-join as Associate members OR may submit materials
for full membership.
Additional Important Information
$45.00 FEE TO REINSTATE A LAPSED MEMBERSHIP
(more than 60 days past due)
Membership renewal is offered automatically to each active member annually
at the current rate of membership. AE relies on membership dues for
its support and needs members to renew in a timely fashion. To give
active members an incentive to renew we are proposing a fee if membership
is past due 60 days or more.
This clerical fee of $45.00 (in addition to the current membership fee)
will be charged to reinstate membership after it has lapsed for 60 days.
The reason for this charge is the time it takes to remove names from
the database, web site, Art Matters list, yahoo database update, listserve;
and then, if renewed, reinstating your information in all of those locations. |

IN THE NEWS
ORPHAN WORKS ACT Many visual arts groups oppose the bill because it would shift the burden of copyright protection to the visual artist.
Current Status: While the Senate passed a version September 27th 2008, the House Judiciary Committee failed to act on it before the 110th Congress expired. It is not currently on the legislative calendar
(April 8, 2009).
