Membership Information
All members in good standing (by paying dues of $35.00) are entitled to a $15 entry fee for the Members Small format show (postcard show), and a $15 entry fee for The Annual Juried Exhibit. Members are invited to all functions and receive the annual Juried Exhibit catalog.
SIGNATURE MEMBERS are collage artists accepted into three annual juried NCS exhibits. The shows do not have to be consecutive. Artists are responsible for reporting their three-year accomplishment to the NCS to obtain the Signature status. The NCS insignia should be used after the artist's signature on their collages. Dues are paid annually to maintain this membership status, even when the artist does not enter the annual exhibit.
All Signature Members receive a membership certificate that may be duplicated for individual purposes. For example, duplication on brochures, attached to the back of framed collages or framed for display.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERS are all individuals and collage artists interested in supporting and belonging to the NCS.
SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES are available to individuals, foundations, and corporations who wish to ensure the strength of the National Collage Society, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, by contributing to these programs:
ANNUAL AWARDS to honor collage artists in the national exhibit
FRED LEACH MEMORIAL
SPEAKERS FUND for collage lectures
EXHIBITION SUPPORT to subsidize catalogs and other related exhibition expenses
PERMANENT COLLECTION ACQUISITION FUND for the future permanent collection
