The Chapter of choice may require payment of a Chapter fee. A Dual Member may only enter juried UWS shows either through the UWS or through their Chapter, not both.

have won an award. Each applicant must furnish the Committee with dates and documentation of awards won and participation; retroactive to the year the Society was founded in 1974. Members
may petition to the UWS Board of Officers, in writing, requesting Signature Membership
designation based on other significant professional achievements or recognition in art exhibition
or publication. The UWS Board will consider such petitions on a case-by-case basis. New
Signature Members shall receive certificates of Signature Membership at the annual membership
meeting (held in June). The certificate at another time if need arises as determined by the Board
or Executive Officers. Once an artist has been awarded UWS Signature Membership status, they

designation of the UWS after their name
