Though we do not require a membership to use the facilities, membership does have its benefits. Membership gives one the sense of belonging to a community of like-minded individuals with similar interests. Members are more likely to spend time sharing their work with others, as well as getting involved in meaningful discourse with others in the community about the technical, artistic, cognitive, and social aspects of their work. We offer various memberships based on your needs.
A printable membership application can be found here.
