RAC now offers an alternative to Signature Membership. Professional artists are invited to join as an Associate Affiliates. Associate Affiliates will receive the bimonthly newsletter, may participate in workshops, and attend club meetings and social events. The club encourages these members to serve on committees.

As an Associate Affiliate, you are invited to participate in the juried RAC Fall Show. Associate affiliates who are accepted into three juried RAC shows are then promoted to Signature status. Jurors are not members of RAC. The 2008 Fall Show is scheduled at Barnes and Noble in Pittsford.

RAC realizes the admission process can be very stressful and hopes this is a viable alterative to the Juried Signature Membership. Associate Affiliates are welcome to apply for Signature Membership through the traditional juried entry process if they wish. See criteria under Application for Membership.

Associate Affiliates applications are supplied upon request, contact Constance Mauro via e-mail at cmauro1115@aol.com
