To become a member of PACS you first of all need to be residing in the Petersfield area (within 15 miles or Petersfield 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 to complete and send to us your application form.
Our membership secretary will then get in touch with you regarding your membership pack.
If you are unsure as to your eligibility or have any other questions about membership please contact us.
The half year rate ends from 1st December, so anyone joining on or after this date will pay the full annual rate, but this will take their membership up to the end of the following December (effectively 13 months membership for the price of 12). New members joining before Dec 1st will have to pay the half year rate and then renew at the full year rate during December.
It is important for us to hold your correct details. If you change your address, phone number or email address we need to know so that we can keep in touch. Members can update their details directly using our on-line membership system (Member Mojo), or you can contact our membership secretary.
PACS has negotiated discounts with local arts suppliers, that can be secured on production of your membership card when making payment.
Renewing your membership using our on-line membership system only takes a couple of minutes. You can pay with most debit or credit cards, or “Stripe” if you have an account. You can also order a new card if you have lost yours here.
Many of our members have their own websites or social media pages. See what is out there using the link below. If you are a member and would like to be listed, please contact our website team (details in link below).
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.

Detailed payment instructions are available on request by contacting our Membership Secretary.
