Visual Arts Brampton membership
The benefits of joining our group

Our membership includes artists of all levels, mostly from Brampton, but also from Mississauga, Toronto, Oakville, and Orangeville.

Regular adult membership is just $35 a year. We haven't raised the price since 1996, and we don't plan to raise it anytime soon. Compare that to Brampton's other art group, whose basic membership costs $100 annually.

If you plan to use the studio frequently, you might consider our "Crea8tif" level membership, $150 a year, where you get further discounts at studio sessions, including free open studio sessions.
