Membership
benefits may be subject to change at any time.
Membership payments cannot be refunded once they have been made.
Where it is considered that membership would be detrimental to the aims and
activities of Castlefield Gallery Associates, Castlefield Gallery has the power to refuse
membership, or may terminate or suspend the membership of any member.
Memberships
are not transferable.
Group membership
Groups can join Castlefield Gallery Associates if they have an established and documented collaborative practice. Groups can only get slots for advisory sessions or ‘crits’ as a group, rather than individuals sessions, and can only apply for a New Art Space as a group. For certain events, e.g. if there is likely to be limited places, groups can only send one member.
Equality
Castlefield Gallery has an equality and diversity policy which aims to enable everyone to access the same opportunities and is backed by legislation to prevent discrimination based on prejudices against any group.
