Become a member of our studio for the phenomenally low price of $30 by putting in a few hours labor each month! You’ll enjoy all the same many perks our full-priced members get, including:
24/7 studio access - No really, we truly mean 24/7! Enjoy #238 whenever you need it, including it’s kitchenette, wifi hotspot, and your own dedicated flat file and wire drawer for storage. Because we know inspiration likes to wait for 2am to strike.
Material Perks - Along with that studio space, you get free range of RCA’s public materials, including premier/artist-grade supplies as available AND 100 pages per month of color and black & white printing on our snazzy printer. You’ll also get the annual opportunity to place fancy RCA custom swag orders!
Discounts - The benefits don’t stop there: take advantage of 10% off at Valley Art Supply, 15% off private bookings in the RCA studio, and 20% off RCA programs & workshops!
Social Perks - Collaborate with your fellow members via the in-studio message board and members-only slack channel, schmooze with staff and volunteers, members and friends at RCA community parties, and revel in the opportunity to be part of an artist & maker community!
In return for this significantly lower fee, you’ll contribute 3 hours of labor each month, as assigned by RCA. After an informal interview to get some sense of what you’re interested in and capable of doing as well as your availability, we’ll give you a few different options to figure out what “job” works best for both you and us!
Membership and add-on rates
$30/month gets you all the perks listed above, but we also offer add-ons you can opt into to enhance your membership experience!
Storage add-ons: if the flat file and wire drawer aren’t enough storage for you, add on an under-table tub for an additional $8 or 1 more hour of work/month, swap your member file and drawer storage for a gray shelf for an additional $10 or 1 more hour of work/month, OR keep your original storage AND claim a gray shelf as well for an additional $20 or 2 more hours of work/month!
Commerce add-ons: for an additional $20 or 2 more hours of work/month we’ll help you sell your wares, both in person and online! With this add-on you’ll be invited to our Makers Markets for the month (with the understanding goods sold in person at these events are subjected to a 20% labor fee) and included on our RCA Members Store Page, where you may list up to 20 pieces for sale. Please note: the page is updated bi-monthly, YOU are responsible for shipping your products (we will notify you via e-mail when an order comes in), and payouts for all your sales happen the last week of each month.
