($50 fee, $30 discount for Artspace members). We are consolidating our membership categories this year and either the CWOS and Artspace registration will provide you the same entree to an online profile, plus discounted pricing on workshops, submission fees, and tickets to events year round.

b) If you already have an online profile, login to your account and make sure that your registration is renewed.  (If your account needs to be renewed it will indicate this on the top of the page when you login. This renewal will allow you the $30 Artspace member discount on the CWOS registration fee.)
