Founding Membership · Open now
Become a
Founding Member.
Every collective has a beginning. This is ours — and you can be part of it. The first 25 people who join don't just become members. They become the names this whole thing was built on.
Founding spots remaining
13 founders are already in. When all 25 are claimed, founding membership closes for good.
What your membership builds
Your $40 a year isn't a fee. It's fuel.
It goes directly toward the programs we put on each year, and toward stipends for artists who want to teach a class, run a demo, or give a presentation to the Guild. You're not paying to belong — you're funding the thing you belong to.
What you get as a member
Belonging that actually does something.
A real voice
Members bring ideas for shows, demos, classes, and discussions. We vote together at meetings on what makes the calendar. You help steer where this goes.
First in line
Members get first chance to volunteer at the programs and events we organize and take part in.
A place to show your work
De Colores is becoming a member of the Shelby Art Guild Association (SAGA), which means our artists will be able to display their art.
Festival access
Members get first access to vendor booths at our festival — with discounted or priority rates for members.
What makes a Founding Member different
The first 25 carry something no one after them can.
Founding Members receive:
-
An original, signed art printDesigned by our founder Claudia — a limited edition of just 25, one for each founder.
-
A certificate of appreciationA keepsake marking you as one of the founders.
-
Your name, memorialized foreverOn our Founding Members page. As long as De Colores exists, you were here at the beginning.
This isn't a perk you can buy later. When the 25 are named, the door closes.
