Dues going up by $5 in January 2027

At the September board meeting it was decided to raise the Individual and Family annual dues rate by $5, making Individual dues $50 per year and Family dues rate $70 per year, effective January 2027. The dues increase allows the Guild to continue providing a place for members to promote their upcoming shows or classes, maintain an online presence with photos of your work and contact information, participate in educational gatherings and fun events, and connect with other glass artists throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

You can renew early and pay the old rate by logging on and going to your account, click the subscriptions tab, click to view the current subscription (most only have 1), renew, pay now. The additional time is just tacked onto the end of your existing subscription so you don’t lose any of the present subscription year.

Get involved and get even more out of your membership:

• Come to the October 26th General Meeting and VOTE for the new board.

• Consider becoming a volunteer

• Attend or participate in an event

• Reach out to a new member in your area

• Come to a regional gathering like the September 27th Glass Brunch in Seattle or a play day or one of the December Holiday Parties, or hold an event yourself: log in, go to About>contact us, fill out the “submit member event” form to send it to the volunteer to put on the calendar and send it out to the mailing list.
