Membership

Being a member gives you a voice! (And it keeps the lights on!)

Register as a “sustaining member” by contributing on a recurring membership fee:

• • Sustaining Individual Member: $10 / mo
  • Sustaining Family Member: $30 / mo (family of 5)
  • Business Sponsor: $50 / month (Please contact gcmakers for more information)

You can manage your membership / payment information through the customer portal.

Members may bring one guest. It is our hope that this privilege allows members to introduce the maker space to others and they will become sustaining members themselves.

 Member benefits include:

• • Member rates for classes and events
  • Display of member art / creations for sale in the gallery and retail spaces
  • Ability to book space for instruction and activities
  • Access to facilities and materials
  • Lumber Yard / Salvage Material access
  • Computer lab access
  • Ability to gather, host creative groups, or otherwise “show your face”
  • Warm-and-fuzzy feeling of supporting your local creative makers space

 Orientation

New members are required to attend an orientation and walkthrough of the facilities. Members must read and agree with Policies and Procedures, Code of Conduct, safety training, etc.

Good Standing

A member shall be considered in good standing if they are current on their dues or on a current board-approved scholarship.

If membership is discontinued and a member has personal property in the facility, they will be given 30 days to claim possessions, after which they will be donated to charity.
