SCAL Membership Benefits

How becoming a member of the Santa Cruz Art League benefits you as an Open Studios Artist:

Higher Commission Rates

Our Open Studios Preview Show brings in more art sales than almost any other exhibition. If your piece sells, you’ll bring home a higher commission rate as a SCAL member!

Member commission: 70% to artist, 30% to SCAL
Non-member commission: 55% to artist, 45% to SCAL

The deadline to register as a member and receive the member commission rate for this year’s Open Studios Preview Show is Friday, September 26.

More Gallery Opportunities

If you’re interested in having your work on display more often, a SCAL membership is a great way to start. SCAL members receive discounted or free entry into nearly all of our open calls, plus exclusive opportunity to participate in our annual Member’s Show, coming up this November!

Promotion Options

Want to get your information out to art-lovers in the community? SCAL members can be listed in our online member directory at no extra cost! Take a look at what our other members are showing to the community: SCAL Member Directory.

NARM Benefits

For just $15 more than our standard plan, your SCAL membership can also come with membership into NARM (the North American Reciprocal Museum Association). NARM membership grants you free or discounted access to over 1000 museums and galleries across North America! Read more about NARM membership here!
