I am not that far in my career yet to be a member of the biggies of the FBA in London and the local/regional ones seem for hobbyists only.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305269093118541197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-600263703678759942011-06-02T23:01:36.417+00:002011-06-02T23:01:36.417+00:00I think I've overdone it and will probably dro...I think I've overdone it and will probably drop out of a few... but you never know which one will earn you a new friend... or a new opportunity.

The main reason i've not joined any is a) im yet to find one that really speaks to me and that would justify the b) subscription fee- which as a 'starving artist' i really have to think hard over. New paints or society fee? It's ovbious what i need to prioritise.<br /><br />Then again I do see the perks of socialising with other artists and groups but then doesnt the internet offer similar opportunities for free?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-61182370737016916342011-06-02T09:29:36.545+00:002011-06-02T09:29:36.545+00:00Yes, very interesting.

A professional organisation but not really a society. And of a women's art society that I'll be leaving as of this summer. So that'll bring me to zero. :) To be clear, societies were really important in building my career. But at this point I'm sure my lack of membership is partly to do with just not finding the right society - one that has a membership primarily of other professional working artists.Tina Mammoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407199513409994699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-82422757817371863992011-06-02T09:19:35.831+00:002011-06-02T09:19:35.831+00:00Good point Marie.
