Our Purpose: MSHAC was founded on Sept. 18, 1940. It is a nonprofit, supportive community organization with simple but important purposes:
  • Encourage and promote art education and appreciation
  • Commend the talent and work of members, and other individuals and arts groups
  • Offer opportunities for growth in the arts and an enthusiastic exchange of ideas
  • Promote the development of local art talent
  • Sponsor art programs by highly qualified presenters for our members and the community

Categories of Membership:
MSHAC recognizes different categories of membership. The rights and privileges of membership are the same for each category. However, we have established different fees for people in different stages in their life.
  • Regular membership: $25 per year per individual and $35 for family (husband and wife/life partners)
  • Senior (over 62): $20 per year
  • Student (a degree granting or certification program): $20 per year
  • Patrons (those who elect to support MSHAC by generously giving a little more than dues): $35 for individual, $50 for family
