Active Member Status is open to current Associate Artist Members of WAAM 

Associate members of the WAAM may apply for or earn Active status in any of the 3 ways outlined below. Active members are artists who must reside within a 50 mile radius of Woodstock. Active members receive WAAM benefits of membership and have the opportunity to vote for and fill Active seats on the Board of Directors. Active members may participate in exhibitions reserved for Active members.

3 ways to become an Active member:

• Apply to Active Member Jurying twice annually (see details below for Spring 2025 dates)
• An artist whose work has been juried into four shows within a two year period.
• An artist has been selected for a solo exhibition.

A WAAM Associate Artist who wishes to attain Active Member status by applying online must submit 6 jpgs representing a body of work. Work will be reviewed by three active member jurors. Jurors are instructed to consider the competency of the artist applicants within the artist's chosen genre rather than making curatorial judgments based on personal taste. The process is not that of selecting an artist for a curated show, but rather an evaluation of whether an applicant has demonstrated a dedication to their artistic practice that meets the high standards of Active Member status. A collection of 6 original pieces that exhibit a well developed artistic voice should be submitted online at this link: https://www.woodstockart.org/art-submission-calendar/.

The dates of application are September 8 - 29, 2026.
