Become a Member of ArtSouthWA (ASWA)

If you intend to enter ArtSouthWA events, including the Southern Art + Craft Trail and Easter Arts Festival you will need to be a member. Only one (1) membership is required for you to participate at a single venue in both events.

Your membership application is required to match your event entry, e.g. you will require a Gallery membership if you want your gallery listed in the events. Name change is possible via email request and subsequent approval from the ASWA Board.

An Individual member can mount a solo exhibition as well as be part of a group. This requires 2 separate event entry forms and fees – one as an Individual for your own solo exhibition, and one from your group for their exhibition. An Individual membership cannot cover the entry of a Gallery / Group or Organisation into the Art Trail.

You CAN apply to be both an Individual member (so that you have access to all benefits), and be part of, or the contact person for a Group/Gallery/Organisation application. This requires 2 separate membership applications and fees.

Individual, Group and Association membership, all receive the benefits listed below.
