One type of membership in the Prairie Art Alliance is as a full Juried Artist Member. This membership is limited to artists residing fulltime in central Illinois. Juried Artist Members may exhibit, rent and sell work in exhibits and the Business Art Service, with PAA retaining only a 40% commission on each piece sold. They may participate as featured artists in exhibits and special events, develop professionally through networking and participation in programs, and if desired, may enjoy the opportunity to become art instructors at the Prairie Art Alliance School of Art. Juried members also receive a 10% discount on classes and Gallery purchases.
