PWAS Membership is open to all individuals, 18 years of age or older, that are interested in supporting the goals of the Society.
To help meet those
goals, it is essential that everyone volunteer in some way to assist elected
board members to accomplish the goals set out in the by-laws. We have various committees that PWAS members should check out and become involved in to help the entire membership's mission, goals, and to just plain, learn more!
Members in good standing that wish to display their artwork in our various art shows and events, or in our art store or art showcase, that are hosted by PWAS, are welcome to include their art. The various opportunities and details are provided per show and more can be learned at the monthly meetings (4th Monday of the month, at the Tall Oaks Community Center at 7:30pm).
PWAS Meetings
The Prince William Art Society meets once a month, January through November and visitors are welcome. In December, there is a private member and spouses celebration. The meetings are held on the fourth Monday of each month.
Member Benefits
- Exposure - get your art "out there" with other local artists!
- Meet other artists - make friends, absorb and share knowledge, talk art-tech
- Learn from other artists - see demos, ask questions, stretch and learn new skills
Membership includes eligibility to exhibit in shows and activities including participation in regional shows at which PWAS buys a space. Members may be required to pay a show fee, which is typically around $20 to enter. When items are sold, 15% goes to PWAS. Participates must adhere to PWAS Art Display Requirements available for download.

Members may participate in PWAS sponsored group trips to art shows and various museums and galleries.
Membership offers the opportunity to be involved in Community Outreach Programs that offer you exposure as an artist. This can include shows at local venues such as High Schools, Libraries, etc.
Members are encouraged to attend monthly meetings that offer the opportunity to meet other artists, become involved in the operations of this organization, and enjoy refreshments. Special interest programs are set up frequently to highlight an art technique or skill. Programs may be presented by a PWAS member or by an invited guest artist.
Workshops are held as
often as available, frequently on a weekend, to cover skills and techniques in
greater depth than is possible at the monthly meetings. The cost for these
workshops is kept affordable, if not free for members and/or public. PWAS non-members are frequently
allowed to attend these workshops for a slightly higher fee. But do watch for these opportunities on the PWAS website at https://www.princewilliamartsociety.com/register
