Join the Community.

ECAH members are passionate community-builders and contributors to the visual arts in Esquimalt.
Plus, members get perks.

Annual Membership - Individual

This ECAH annual membership is valid for one household sharing the same address.

    • Early registration to courses and workshops

    • Opportunity to submit artwork to calls for artists, including our Driftwood Gallery wall

    • 1 vote per household at the AGM

    • Discount on Urban Arts Tour & East West Mural Fest artist registration

    • Access to our Members Only Facebook page

    • And much more!

  • Our Annual Membership is available on a Pay-What-You-Can Scale. Here is a breakdown of how the scale works \ how to choose the right tier for you.

    • Support - $0 - $20. This is our most accessible tier. This is for the folks who face financial barriers to participation but would still love to be an ECAH member. This tier exists due to the generosity of patrons who choose the Giving tier, and ECAH’s fundraising efforts.

    • Standard - $40 - $60. This is the standard recommended cost of our membership.

    • Giving - $80. For those with some expendable income at the end of the month who would like to put it towards supporting low-income access to our membership. Thank you!

Annual Membership - Organization

Our new Organizational Membership option provides the same perks as our Individual Memberships, except it is geared toward artist collectives, other arts groups and galleries, and local businesses.

    • Partner listings on our website

    • Priority promotion of events and calls to artists in our newsletter

    • Your members are eligible to apply for our Calls for Artists (without needing Individual Memberships!)

    • Discounted Event Registration

    • Opportunity to have a table or booth at events

  • To ensure this program is accessible to organizations of all size, our pay rates are scaled based on Annual Operating Budget. Have a look at what this means below!

    • Equity*: $0 - This tier is reserved for non-profit organizations with a dedicated mandate to support equity-deserving artist groups, such as those from Indigenous, BIPOC, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities.

    • Annual Operating Budget below $50,000: $80

    • Annual Operating Budget $50,000 - $100,000: $100

ARTIST \ MEMBER HOLIDAY FEATURE

We are bringing back Member Features for our community of artists!

We thought it would be great before the holidays for artists to be able to get their names out there... A little perk of being an ECAH member! 

The feature will be posted on ECAH’s social media accounts and in the ECAH newsletter. This is a great opportunity to let people know you are selling holiday items or taking commissions for the holidays!

If you are interested in being featured, fill out the form below!
