Membership information
The Aspotogan Arts and Crafts is an all-inclusive artist group, welcoming both beginners and professional artists, open to all residents of the St Margaret's Bay and Mahone Bay areas. Membership currently costs $25 and runs October 1st to September 30th. Member benefits include opportunities to exhibit and sell paintings in our well-attended annual Spring Show and Sale events in May and October; promotion of artwork via your individual "artist gallery" on the AAC website, and free entry to the monthly open studios at Ocean Swells Community Centre.
Working together
The Aspotogan Arts and Crafts is a non-profit volunteer organization and each member is asked to take an active role on committees and in activities, to help keep the group up and running. We do our best to match volunteers skills and level of comfort with the tasks at hand. Jobs may include helping with displays, organizing the Christmas Party, distributing promotional material, or working with the Committee Executives.

Open Studio at Ocean Swells Community Centre
Monthly open studios are held on the last Monday of every month (except for July, August & December) during which members and “drop-in visitors” can network, work on their art and discuss art-related topics. Membership meetings may be held to discuss the business of the Society, committees may meet for planning events, and a workshop or a guest speaker may be offered. These monthly studio sessions are a great way to meet other artists and find out how to participate in the activities happening in our organization.
