General Membership Information

The NAA is an open association that welcomes all artists and art lovers and encourages all to become involved in supporting our mission and outreach programs through participation and volunteerism.

You can join online, by mail, or in person.  If you are not joining online,  click and download an Artist Membership Form and mail to the NAA along with your payment.  To download a copy of benefits, click Artist Membership Benefits.  If you do not have a current version of Adobe you will not be able to save a copy of the form.  If this is the case, print out a copy for your records.  Mail your payment and form to: NAA, 65 Water Street, Newburyport, Ma  01950.

Membership is Rolling.   Your membership is valid for 365 days, from the date you join.  Your membership renewal date is visible in My Dashboard… your personal space on our website.  Log in, click on My Dashboard and you can edit your profile, view works entered online in shows, renew your membership,  add your biography, website, twitter, etc.. all from this space!  This biographical information including your social media and website links will be visible to the public when someone clicks on your work in the online gallery, then the “Artist” tab to learn more.

One of our ongoing projects is to have a biography on hand from each of our members.  We love our members and we want to rest of the world to know how amazing you are!   We would also like to be able to provide buyers with information on the artist whose work they are purchasing.  Please send all updated or new biographies to naa@newburyportart.org.  If you need a little inspiration please click here for a sample biography.
