WCAC is going paperless!

  2. Download the reply card, print, fill it out, and mail with your check/money order;
  3. Contact the Gallery Manager to pay over the phone and/or set up a pledge (monthly or yearly);
  4. Pay in person at the Washington County Arts Council.

You will receive an email receipt (or link to a receipt via SMS text message) along with a digital membership card.

Starting January 1, 2025, exhibits, future charity events, and appeals will be sent electronically and follow these same guidelines. WCAC will no longer send postcards and mailings!

Less paper and no stamps! WCAC is looking forward to this transition and hopes you enjoy this simplified process, as well. Please let us know if you have any questions.


If you or an artist you know does not have access to a smartphone, notepad, laptop, computer, or printer, please have them come into WCAC during business hours and WCAC will be happy to help them enter a call, make a donation, and/or pay for their membership.
