Memberships

Become A Member

Our Members are the lifeline of TILT’s creative community. Image-making doesn’t happen in a vacuum, it takes everyone: enthusiasts, patrons, life-long learners, families and artisans.

Membership is fully tax deductible. Your support makes it possible for us to offer free programming & exhibitions, and youth education.

In line with our Community Agreement, we have implemented a pricing model that allows us to offer our benefits and services to more artists. This is but one step in our journey to become more equitable. In short, we invite everyone to self-identify their giving capacity and pay what they can afford. The sustainer tier creates a cushion for those with less financial freedom, the standard tier reflects our standard yearly rate, and the discount tier supports those with extenuating fiscal responsibilities.

Events & Networking

There’s no one way to network. Unique opportunities are planned throughout the year for Members to connect, learn and be inspired at their own pace. Whether it’s intentional or spontaneous, with friends or solo, this is how the threads of our community come together.

Exhibitions & Exposure

In addition to our Annual Members Exhibition, throughout the year we shine a light on a handful of Members via Member Spotlights in TILT’s Project Space. There is no formal selection process, Members share their interest and availability with the Membership Coordinator and the rest is magic. Members are given the freedom to mount a display in the corridor that connects the gallery to the Crane Arts Building. On the 2nd Thursday of the chosen month, we host a “Meet the Artist” reception for the participating Member right in the center of the action.

The spotlights are announced in our general and Member newsletters, as well as promoted across all of TILT’s social media outlets. We produce the graphics and signage in house and encourage the spotlighted Member to share the announcement with their personal and professional contacts. The spotlight runs for roughly three weeks in the Project Space and is accessible during the Crane Arts Building’s business hours.

Exhibitions & Discounts & Staff Support

Discounts: Members receive 10% off Fine Art Services. There’s no limit to the number of times your discount can be applied. Discounts are active the moment you become a Member, no waiting or trial period.

Member Consultations: A one-on-one conversation with TILT’s Membership Coordinator to discuss your goals and benefits. The consultation lasts about 30 minutes and takes place in the gallery or over Zoom. Members walk away with a better understanding of the resources available and how TILT can best support their creative journey. Email Hamilton at ihamilton@tiltinstitute.org today!

TILT staff are here to help guide you in your creative journey no matter your skill set. Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn more about the printing process or a seasoned photographer hoping to complete work for exhibition, TILT’s team is here to answer your questions and guide your artistic vision.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

TILT’s Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are self-selected communities within TILT’s membership base that gather to share knowledge, learning, technical skills, and community. SIGs are led by a TILT Member who volunteers, and are open to all Members to join.

Our Artist Lab and Classroom spaces have been consolidated into our newly renovated Studio. We are pleased to host the SIGs in the Studio on Saturdays during our normal business hours from 12 noon to 6 pm. The Studio has access to new Apple computer work stations, a new 44 inch wide Epson digital printer, an Epson flatbed scanner, studio lights and backgrounds, plenty of table and wall space to share prints, and a digital projector for sharing information as well as digital images.

Members are welcome to learn, teach, socialize, create, critique, discuss, explore, inspire, and be inspired, and encouraged to lead or attend workshops, informational talks, or networking sessions. We urge all disciplines to participate.

SIG meetings could be a one time event or workshop, or a series of weekly or monthly meetings. Lead a series of peer-based critiques, host a digital printing or studio lighting workshop, join a book sequencing group, or attend a monthly networking meet up. A TILT team member is available to help bring your SIG idea to life!
