Guest Artist Demos
The association lines up guest artists to conduct demos and trainings for each gathering. Find out more about the monthly demos here.
Member Art Competition
As a member, you may bring your artwork (up to two pieces) to our monthly meeting and enter our members’ only competition.
Winning a competition earns you a ribbon, and bragging rights, which is great content for social media and helps to earn credibility and confidence as an artist. Learn more about the monthly competitions on our Membership Page or View the monthly competition guidelines.
Socialize with Fellow Artists
There’s always time at the monthly meetings to mingle and chat with other members. So if you’d like to meet other local artists, this is a great, casual atmosphere to do so.
Member Art Shows
We have our ‘Rotating Art’ program that gives emerging artists an opportunity to exhibit and sell their artwork at local venues.
Find out more about the Member Art Shows below.
Remember, all of the events above are benefits that Orange Art Association members receive. So if you aren’t a member yet, be sure to learn more on our Membership Page. If you’re a local artist, we’d love for you to join.
