Most members find a VAC Membership more than pays for itself in member benefits.
- When you shop at the VAC, your membership discounts will be automatically given at the register.
- When purchasing online you must log into the VAC's website at www.VisualArtCenter.org, to receive your member discount.
Don't Forget to Login: As a member, you may login from any VAC website page by clicking Member Login (on the right) at the top menu. When visiting the VAC Website, if the first thing you do is login, then each page you visit will give you your member rates, discounts, and member benefits. Your login will automatically take you to your member page where you can see all of your current and past purchases, and where you can update your email, address, phone number, and payment information. To get back to the website from your member page, just click on Visual Arts Center at the top left of your page.
Membership
When you join the Visual Arts Center (VAC) as a Member, your membership automatically renews each year, with dues payable annually until you choose to resign. Your dues will be billed to the credit card you have on file on the anniversary of your initial membership. You may update your payment method at any time, or choose to prepay your annual dues if you prefer not to use the card on file. Payment details are stored securely through our payment gateway, and each year your membership will renew at the then-current VAC Membership rate unless you resign beforehand.
Membership Cancellation
You may resign your VAC Membership at any time. To do so, simply log into your account at www.visualartcenter.org to manage your membership, or email us at membership@visualartcenter.org with your resignation request and reason for cancellation. If your resignation is received before your renewal date, your membership will remain active through the end of your current membership year, and will not renew. If your resignation is received after your dues have been charged, your membership will stay active until the next anniversary date, at which time it will end. Please note that membership dues are non-refundable once paid. To avoid being charged for another year, resignations must be submitted prior to your renewal date.
Difficulty Registering: If you have any trouble using the website to register or pay your fees, please call the VAC at 941-639-8810 (from 10am to 4pm, Monday through Friday) or email info@visualartcenter.org and someone will help you.
