To become a member of PACS you first of all need to be residing in the Petersfield area (within 15 miles as the crow flies). You also need to be actively involved in making art (both professional and amateur makers are welcome) and have a willingness to participate in coming to demos, taking part in exhibitions and above all getting to know other like-minded creative people.
PACS is run by a committee made up of volunteer members and depends entirely on these contributions of time and effort to keep going, so we would like to see all members taking their turn at some point.
All exhibiting members have to contribute their time in some way at the summer exhibition (a duty rota is issued) and a large proportion of members help in many roles throughout the year. Although we will understand if at times you are less able to be involved, there is an expectation that all members will offer their skills and time wherever they can. The society can only function if everyone takes part in some way and we all benefit from this joined effort.
Our programme is very varied with evening talks, artists’ demos, sketching days and opportunities to exhibit in a friendly and encouraging environment. New members always bring with them new ideas which help to keep PACS fresh and make it move in new directions.
If you’re thinking of joining PACS please read through the details below and then click on Membership Sign-Up at the top of this page to complete and send to us your application form.
Our membership secretary will then get in touch with you regarding your membership pack.
You must live in the locality of Petersfield to become a member – approximately within 15 miles as the crow flies. If you are unsure as to your eligibility or have any other questions about membership please contact us.
Membership costs £30 a year (January 1st to December 31st) for adults and £15.00 for Under 21s. Joining after May 31st costs £15.00 or £7.50 respectively but members joining after May 31st are not entitled to exhibit in the main exhibition in August. Members joining for the half year are still entitled to all other member privileges.
A Standing Order set up using your electronic banking system (or a paper based mandate) is the preferred method of payment. Alternatively, payment can be made by electronic bank transfer, and cheques are also accepted.
Existing members are welcome to use the link below to renew their membership. Detailed payment instructions will be provided where appropriate. Renewal of your membership in this way is not required, but is appreciated as it helps us to reduce administration.
