Membership at Borealis Art Guild
At the heart of Borealis Art Guild is its members. Membership isn’t just a perk—it’s participation in a living, creative community that supports artists, nurtures learning, and strengthens the arts across the Iron Range.
As a member-supported nonprofit, Borealis Art Guild exists because people like you believe that art matters. Your membership helps ensure access to creative opportunities, quality instruction, shared studio space, and a welcoming place where art and community come together.
Why Membership Matters
Members are the foundation of Borealis Art Guild’s governance and future. As a member, you:
Vote for the Board of Directors, who provide oversight and long-term vision
Shape the direction of the Guild, ensuring it remains artist-centered and community-focused
Support the Executive Director, who manages the day-to-day operations and programming
In short, members don’t just support the Guild — they guide it.
Member Benefits
Membership also comes with tangible benefits designed to support your creative practice and deepen your connection to the Guild.
20% Discount on Classes
Members receive a 20% discount on all Borealis Art Guild classes and workshops, making it easier to explore new mediums, refine your skills, and learn from talented local instructors.
Display Your Artwork on Consignment
Members may display and sell their artwork in Guild exhibitions and display areas on a consignment basis. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your work with the community and gain exposure in a professional gallery setting.
Participate in Open Studio
Open Studio offers members access to shared creative space during designated times. It’s a relaxed, supportive environment where artists can work independently, experiment, connect with fellow creatives, and draw inspiration from being part of an active studio community.
Whether you’re an emerging artist or a lifelong maker, Open Studio is about making art together.
