Become a MAPS Member

The MidAtlantic Pastel Society (MAPS) is open to anyone interested in the pastel medium, from the beginning student to the professional artist. The only requirements for membership are that the prospective member must be 18 or older and pay annual dues. Annual Dues are $25, due by June 1st or at time of joining. (Please note that field trips or other special programs may require additional fees.) Our membership year runs from June 1st to May 31st of the following year.  New members may apply to join at any time during the year; membership dues are not prorated, except that new member dues received after our March meeting will be extended through the next fiscal year.
