AFAF Membership

The Antioch Fine Arts Foundation began in October 2001 as a center for interaction among Northern Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin artists. AFAF is a not-for-profit organization whose function is to coordinate and promote area arts programs. Our goal is to foster knowledge and appreciation of the arts in the local community.

Membership is open to artists, patrons of the arts, and anyone interested in art appreciation.

Membership Opportunities Include:
  • Monthly Meetings with Programs
  • Library and Resource Center
  • Discounts on Art Classes, Workshops and Art Demonstrations for Children and Adults
  • Gallery Exhibitions*
  • Group Shows and Art Events
  • Paint-Ins and Paint-Outs
  • Collective Art Supply Purchasing Discounts
  • ... and Much More!

*Gallery Exhibitions: Any member can exhibit artwork in the gallery (generally two pieces). Artwork is changed every two months. Exhibiting members are required to pay a flat hanging fee of $5 per month plus a commitment of four hours per month of gallery sitting time. That time can be divided into 2-hour segments.


Occasionally, a member might be selected to have a special show in the White Room featuring several works. The White Room shows usually include an opening reception.


Monthly AFAF Member Meetings are the second Tuesday of every month at 6.30 pm. Most of the meetings offer an interesting program or demonstration and refreshments. The upcoming programs are listed in each newsletter. See News.


Membership Questions: You can e-mail membership questions to the AFAF Membership Director or call the Gallery at (847) 838-2274 Thursday through Sunday during gallery hours. At other times, messages may be left on voicemail.
