Membership Limitations
- While Patron Members are welcome to attend the Monthly Members’ Meetings and partake in discussions they are considered honorary members and are therefore not entitled to a vote, do not count towards meeting quorum, and are ineligible to serve as an officer on the board of directors without express permission of the artist members.
- Because the Gallery X Patron membership is designed for non-artists, the exhibition benefits that Artist Members receive (free submissions, reduced commission, discounts on long term exhibition rentals) do not extend to any tier of patron membership.
