The Association of Animal Artists is an organisation filled with members who are passionate about creating art and supporting animals. We are constantly looking for ways to provide new opportunities which benefit our members creative practices, personal growth, and business skills. As a member you currently have access to the following:

Exhibition Opportunities – Two in person exhibitions in the UK per year, and we are hoping to offer online exhibition opportunities in the near future.

Juried Awards – awards are selected by guest judges at the autumn exhibition who have a vast experience of the art world. The awards are donated by our sponsors who have included, but are not limited to: The SAA, Jackson’s Art Supplies, Ken Bromley Art Supplies and Wildlife Reference Photos.

Social Media Promotion – we regularly share members work with our public facing social media pages (Facebook and Instagram) providing links to your social media and websites.

Supportive Members Only Facebook Group - where we can share ideas, work and ask advice from other members.

Monthly Newsletter – here we promote our members wins, exhibitions, workshops and spotlight members.

Weekly Open Studio – these weekly studio sessions are over zoom and are a great place to work in the company of other artists no matter where in the world you are!  You can chat or simply work in your studio surrounded by like minded artists – it’s a great place to ask art questions as the breadth of knowledge as fabulous!

Member Socials – we try to organise at least one event per year where members can meet in person and get to know one another. In the past we have organised reference gathering days, workshops, demonstrations, and social meals.

Promotion on the Association of Animal Artists website – as part of our member directory you can improve your websites SEO and make it easier for customers to find you.

Raise money for animal charities - as a member you not only get to have a say in who we support each year but also help the charity through postcard auctions – another great way to promote your work.
