Membership is open on an international basis, with the understanding that some benefits may be limited for those outside of the US or those outside of the US/Canada.  Dues are annual and your membership date will be determined by the date payment is received.

Member benefits are still being defined.  We'd love your help on one of the committees to morph this young organization into something we can all be proud of.

To join the guild, please complete this application and then send your payment. Your website access will be set up once your payment has been received.

To become a corporate sponsor, please complete a sponsor form and send payment.

questions & answers

1) What is the difference between a general membership and a business membership?

Juried Status:
You must be a business member to apply for juried status. Paying for a business membership does not make you juried, but gives you the option of becoming juried if you so desire. Juried members must maintain a business membership to retain their juried status. Click here for jury procedures and guidelines.

Jewelry Artist Direct:
You may apply to JewelryArtistDirect.com as a general member, but if accepted, you must upgrade to a business member prior to inclusion.

Long-term, as member benefits are added, some will be available to both general and business members and others will only be available to business members.


2) How do members become juried?
Guild business members may submit .jpgs of their work for jurying. Judging is done by the current juried members of the guild. The jury guidelines are in "round 2" and will continue to evolve as our experience with jurying grows.

Guild members can find the current jury procedures and judging guidelines in the members areas. After signing in to the members areas, look in the upper left box. Click on the link for jury applications. You will see links to the procedures, the judging guidelines, and current and past jury applications.

3) How do I upgrade to a business membership?
Members may upgrade from the general level to the business level at any time, simply by paying the difference in membership fees. The difference will not be prorated. Members may only downgrade from the business level to the general level at their renewal date.

To upgrade, please send PayPal for $15 USD to payments@WireJewelryArtists.org and include a note that the payment is for upgrading to a business membership. You will receive an email back to acknowledge that the upgrade has been processed.
