As explained in the TAODA Bylaws, we offer two types of membership:

1) Artist Member

2) Associate Member

If you haven't yet done so, please review bylaws Article IV which deals with membership. Section 1 explains Artist Membership. Section 2 explains Associate Membership. Our association year is July 1 - June 30 of the following year. Membership dues are $25 per year for Artist Members, and $10 per year for Associate Members. Artist Members joining after October during the association fiscal year will pay prorated dues for that year only. Associate Members joining at any time of the year will pay the full dues amount.
