Water's Edge Artists

The greatest good is like water.
It gives life to the ten thousand things but does not strive.

Water's Edge Artists Membership Form

Welcome to the Water’s Edge Artists! We offer a variety of membership options. There are no membership fees; as a member, your commitment to the group is based on your engagement and involvement. We invite all artists new to WEA to join as Associate Members. Once you have completed the minimum participatory requirements, you will become an Artist Member. We also encourage you to join our ‘parent’ organization, the Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership, to help support their environmental stewardship projects and programs in the Lakeshore region.

ASSOCIATE MEMBERS are individuals or sponsors who support the WEA stewardship ethic through the purchase of paintings, calendars, and participation in WEA events and activities.

AFFILIATE MEMBERS are guest artists who share their creative discipline by participating in WEA events or exhibits.

ARTIST MEMBERS are plein air artists who have participated in at least 3 WEA outdoor paint-out dates per year and have attended at least 1 WEA meeting and 1 WEA/LNRP event each year. The paint-outs are organized on the first Friday and Saturday of each month, with event months having additional paint-out opportunities. Artist Members are eligible to show their work in WEA/LNRP exhibits and events, with press releases and promotional business processes and protocol being shared with each other. The highest standards of professionalism are encouraged in a welcoming atmosphere of camaraderie.

SIGNATURE ARTIST MEMBERS have gone through the jurying process and have had a painting accepted and published in a minimum of three Lakeshore Waterways Calendars. The Artist Member participation criteria listed above continue to apply to Signature Members as well.
