The Council meets approximately once per month (usually the third Thursday in the evening), and helps encourage the Arts in and around De Soto. Membership is $25/year.
As a member, you enjoy free listing in our Local Artists Directory (a great way to make connections and encourage local interest in your work!). You also enjoy connections with other artists in the area and using their giftings to enhance the community.

MEMBERS ONLY - Pay Annual Dues
Annual dues are $25 (see below), due in January.
NEW MEMBERS: When you receive confirmation of membership, please pay your annual dues either in person via check or cash, or online using the button below. The easiest way to pay in person is to give them to the Treasurer during a monthly meeting.
RETURNING MEMBERS: Please pay your annual dues in January. You may pay via this form or in person.
Thank you for paying your annual fee. Fees are due in January. You can also pay the Treasurer in person using cash or check.
How does Membership Benefit me?: Membership gives you access to all regular Arts Council privileges as well as a personalized entry in the Local Artists Catalog. If you’re interested in having an entry in the Catalog (great for helping local people connect with your work), please contact Maureen Fieleke for more information.
How much is Membership?: Membership is $25/year, and all funds go towards our goals of encouraging the artistic community in De Soto and the surrounding areas. If you pay online, we add a dollar to cover the processing fees we incur ($25 dues + $1 processing fee = $26). If you pay with a check or in cash (due to the treasurer), there is no processing fee.
New Members Only: If you join for the first time during the second half of the year, you receive a prorated membership fee. You will pay again next January when dues are due for all members.
