I’m an artist. Can I join as a member only in the months I vend at Arts Market New Orleans?
Memberships are annual and apply year-round. To receive the reduced member rate for Arts Market New Orleans, you must have an active Local Artist Membership.
If you’re paying in monthly installments, those payments cover your full-year membership and must continue even in months when you’re not vending at the market. This ensures your member benefits remain active and your discounted vendor rate stays available.
