Starting April 1st through the EDIT: "END OF 2020", MAG is reducing the cost of membership. General membership will be $25, family/dual will be $45, and metal arts students will pay $10. We hope this helps a little and makes it possible for you to continue to be a member of our community of artists. Renew now to take advantage of the reduced price! If you are an artist who is also a health care worker, WE THANK YOU! From the bottom of our hearts thank you for your courage, p...ersistence, and caring hands. Stay safe. Finally, here are two links to websites that may be useful to you. The Center for Disease Control has a lot of very good information. This page is especially helpful for making your home safe: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus//community/home/index.html. A website with information specific to free-lance artists has an aggregated list of free resources, opportunities, and financial relief options for artists of all disciplines: COVID19 and Free-lance Artists: https://covid19freelanceartistresource.wordpress.com/
