Artisan Membership
Showcase & Sell Your Works
We invite you to join us for a host of benefits. Included are:
A web presence that introduces you to our local community and the greater world: you will have one biography page where you can share your story.
An online gallery page to showcase your work, and if desired, sell it online. You may choose to price your work, or simply display it. We allow 35 items at a time per gallery, and you may change/add to them at any time as items are sold, or new works are created.
An opportunity to schedule classes under the umbrella of AoPC, and thus share your skills with children and/or adults in our community.
An opportunity to network with other artisans in your local community or across the miles.
Our vision for AoPC includes the creation of brick and mortar gallery space with classrooms, probably in the town of Franklin. While this goal is still in the future, we do envision hosting several Pop Up Galleries and Sidewalk Sales during warmer months. Your membership fee now will help us to do all that we envision for 2023 and beyond.
Please read details of membership below.
