Membership Information and Membership Categories

The ACGA has developed several categories of membership to encourage the participation of the entire clay and glass community. We are not only a group of artists--we also seek the interest and support of any individual or company interested in the ceramic arts. All members receive our monthly newsletter.

With the exception of inquiring about jurying for exhibiting membership, please download our membership application (145K in pdf format) or contact Ann Testa (925 254-8457) for more membership information.
