Some people have asked "How does SOLA work? Can I bring art in to the talk? Are the talks free?"


Here is SOLA In a nutshell: If you are a SOLA (or a PAL*) member:
-$3 to come to a talk by an invited professional speaker
-$0 for a non-professional or a sponsored speaker

Visitors are welcome; the cost is either $18 or $3 for the meetings.


We put the room together between 5:45 and 6:30 and the artist-folks show up between 6:30 and 7 to sign-in, get some good snacks/drinks (not chips and Kool-aide) and find a seat for all artists at the meeting.

If you are a SOLA member (which costs $95/year) you can:

  1. Hear speakers from the art community monthly on the 3rd Thursday at 6:30
  2. Bring a piece of art for show and be juried by your art peers collecting They are also posted on the web site (with meta tags so it becomes searchable).
  3. Be on the Talk Art TV show, taped monthly. See Example of the show - Click to play a clip.
  4. Be part of the twice yearly SOLA Salon event.
  5. Join the occasional art field trips to New York and other luminary art spots on earth, near and far.

Look at this page to see the highlights of what you receive as a member this year.

 
     
  * PAL membership allows entrance into the SOLA functions if they are held at PAL. SOLA function not held at PAL, place PAL-only artists completely in the non-membership status.
Constructive-criticism only welcomed. Leadership encouraged!
