Membership Organizations

Membership organizations and professional affiliations can offer you all kinds of benefits tailored to your discipline- employment information, networking opportunities, and publications potential to name a few. Memberships not only make you more informed about advances in your field, they also make you appear more informed, in short they look good on a resume. If you are planning to remain involved in the "fine" arts, a membership to CAA is a no-brainer, but don't take my word for it, do some research and see for yourself!
