Josef, I am not in an hurry to join. I sent them an email over a week ago and have not heard from them. Just like most artist's groups, I have heard good and bad things. At this point, I am not sold on any benefit I might receive from membership with this particular society. I want to find an environment that mirrors this website (at least in part) with the opportunity for artists to visit each other's studio's or attend workshops and seminars. As I mentioned earlier, I am having a hard time finding a really good workshop or seminar within a 2 hour drive from my home. Time and financial constraints prevent me from attending any of the workshops found in the US. I was hoping that this society would have catered to my specific needs, but have not heard any compelling argument to convince me of it's merits. I'll keep my ears open. Josef, do you find yourself in the same situation in Montreal?
