Our Jam Sesh workshop, Creative Writing Discussion workshop, and Discord
server including all its resources, prompts, challenges, motivation, and spaces
to share creative work for feedback are FREE SERVICES provided by VGVS. Anyone
is welcome to attend free Zoom workshops and participate in general server
stuff without ever paying a cent! But if you want to help us grow and provide
even more artist resources and opportunities for the creative community,
you can become a legit Guild Member and receive all the extra benefits that come
with that by paying annual dues of just $15 for adults 18+ or $12 for teens 13-17.

Beginning in 2026, we will also be offering Pro Membership for professional
creators who want even more benefits and ways to share their creative work!
Guild Pro Members must be at least 18 years old and pay annual dues of $75.


MEMBER BENEFITS
While everyone has free access to the Discord server and virtual workshops,
only those who pay annual dues are considered Guild Members and are able to
attend board meetings, vote on Guild matters, participate in certain events, and receive certain benefits. Dues-paying members have access to exclusive
channels in our Discord server, receive a 50% discount for paid workshops,
and have the options to participate in exclusive creative challenges & events,
submit their creative work to be featured on VGVS social media pages and our
Substack blog, promote paid work and commissions in the "member promo"
channel in the server, contribute to an annual special-edition members-only
zine & virtual art show, participate in certain in pop-up art events with their
local chapters, and more!

PRO MEMBER BENEFITS
In addition to all the regular Guild Member benefits listed above, Pro Members
will also be interviewed for a feature article written by Angie Tonucci that will
be shared on VGVS social media pages and our Substack blog, can attend paid
workshops for free, and have the options to list items for sale in the VGVS Etsy
