News & Announcements
Thank you for your help
We would like to thank the Rogers family: Nan, Joan, Pam and Melissa, their spouses and kids for the kind donation of $100 in memory of Donald Dale Douglas. Mr. Douglas was an illustrator in the 1950's, 60's and 70's.
We are still in the process of implementing several changes
- We have new membership categories: Basic and Family;
- We have eliminated both the Associate & Foreign categories;
- The new category rates have been rolled-back to pre-2002 prices for a limited time;
- We are building a new forums and community network for our membership;
- New membership packets have been developed for everyone - existing members and new sign-ups alike;
- The new packets contain a certificate of membership, new membership cards, a lapel pin and a small ASFA sign for artists to hang on their show panels.
The new membership cards are your key to unlocking new and upcoming member benefits we are working to establish...
We still have a joint membership program with the Illustration Exchange. During the 2010-2012 calendar years, new sign-ups and renewals for the Illustration Exchange Premium membership will also receive an ASFA membership and visa-versa. Get access to the Illustration Exchange's listings of original art, their galleries, forums and sales pages along with your ASFA membership. Now really is the best time to join!
The ASFA Community Network
You may have seen mentions of the "ASFA Community," "New Membership Forums," "ASFA Ning Site," or assorted variations thereof... these are all in reference to what is now officially called the ASFA Community Network.
In order to maintain a members-only area, here is how it works-
Go to the link on the left and click the Sign Up text in the top right box. Create a user name, password and enter your date of birth. You will also have to solve a captcha. You will then be sent an email as verification, and you will need to respond to that email.
When you respond, you will be directed to fill out your profile. There are a few required questions including your membership number (it can be found on your new membership card, certificate or packet envelope), your membership type (Basic, Family, Lifetime or Business), and your location. Anything else you want to add is up to you. Your membership number will remain secret to all but administrators.
You will not get into the community right away; you will have to be approved by an administrator who will check your membership number against your name and number in our database.
Once that is done, you can upload pictures, video, create a blog, participate in forums, list things for sale... and much more as we move forward and create our new ASFA community together!
Please stay tuned for more as we make this new ASFA a reality!
