Find Your Voice: Youth Art

Are you a young creative looking for a place to create, connect, and showcase your work? The West Branch Creative Arts Association is thrilled to open doors for the next generation of creators through our official Youth Membership program.

Designed for independent young minds, this membership provides the space, tools, and community support needed to take your creative ambitions to the next level.

Member Benefits

For just a $10 yearly membership fee, Youth Members receive exclusive access to:

• Art Classes: Join us for dedicated art classes hosted frequently right in the gallery’s activity room.

• Discounts on Camps: Receive 50% off registration for our seasonal Art Camps.

• Gallery Representation: Get real-world experience! Display and sell your original artwork in the gallery, and participate in our annual Youth Art Show.

• Facility Access: Need a studio? Make full use of the gallery activity room and available art supplies during regular gallery hours to work on your projects.

• Future Support: Become eligible for the Young Artists Award (educational support for college/creative ambitions), hands-on mentorship from senior artists, and local volunteer opportunities.

Program Expectations & Guidelines

To maintain a safe, inspiring, and professional environment for everyone, our members hold themselves to a high standard:

• Age Requirement: Members must be at least 12 years old, unless sponsored by an active adult WBCAA senior member.

• The Artist's Code: Members agree to behave as professionals. This means treating fellow artists, senior members, visitors, and our facility with the utmost respect.

• Community Representation: Appropriate, respectful behavior is required at all times—especially during gallery events and when volunteering as a representative of the WBCAA.
