We share our art with our community through exhibitions and displays at several venues each year.

Our annual membership fee is $30.

Student Scholarship
 

Each year we award a scholarship of $1000 to a GISS graduating student to further their studies in art.  The 2023 recipient is Lila Manz.

 

To quote Lila: “I would love nothing more than to continue creating wacky and beautiful art inspired by the absurdity of life.”
