Become a Member

The Artisans Guild was established to foster local arts by bringing benefits to member artisans and the community. The Guild consists of several types of members: exhibiting artisans, supporting non-artisan members, and businesses.

Membership is the easiest way to stay connected to and be informed about artisans, artists and events of the ESVA Artisans Guild Community. The general benefits of membership include a Holiday Studio Tour, Guild newsletters, social events, our annual membership meeting & dinner, and a members-only Facebook group. Come grow and create with us!

ARTISAN MEMBERSHIP - $35

The Artisan Membership is for anyone who is actively engaged in their craft or art and resides on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, who is creating and sharing his/her work with the public in person at events/galleries or online, and who could potentially participate in the Annual Artisans Guild Studio Tour and other Guild Events. This membership will include an invitation to our annual meeting. (The Annual Tour Committee makes final decisions on Tour stops and Tour participants.)

NON-ARTISAN MEMBERSHIP - $25

The Non-Artisan Membership is for a lover/supporter of art and craft. A friend, partner/spouse, collector, supporter, etc. who wishes to be connected with the Guild, but not as an artisan or artist.

BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP - $60

The Business Membership is designed for any organization, corporation, or private business that wishes to support the Guild. We look for opportunities to collaborate with our business members to promote the arts. Your company logo will be displayed on our website.

PATRON MEMBERSHIP - $100 and above

The Patron Membership is for dedicated individuals who support the Guild with gifts starting at $100. This generous support helps us to promote our presence in the community, especially during our Holiday Studio Tour, which has become a beloved Eastern Shore holiday shopping tradition.
