Become a Collective Member

Being a member of our collective will give you a bunch of benefits including access to marketing advice and workshops for creatives, online classes (including an upcoming 'build your own website' course) and more as we grow.

​How much does membership cost?
Memberships are currently $29 (including GST).

What are the benefits of becoming a member?

There are lots of benefits to becoming a member including professional development opportunities, special offers, premium support and advice, a premium directory profile, and a collective email address. Use the drop down boxes below to learn more about each of these benefits.

As a member, you also have a say in how we run NZ Art Cloud. This means that you'll receive periodical invitations to provide us with feedback and ideas.

Finally, we're also working on a collective store. This will give our members the ability to list items on an online store via our website. We'll update members about this as it progresses, but we hope to have this online by mid 2019.
Professional development opportunities
We will be bringing our members periodical professional courses, workshops and classes. These may be online, or in various NZ locations and we hope they will cover a range of topics from supporting skills such as digital marketing and websites to practical workshops offered by other artists.
Special Offers
As our membership numbers grow, we look forward to bringing members special offers from our partners.
Premium Support & Advice
As a collective member, you can book appointments with us so that we can assist you with advice in our areas of expertise:
  • ​Websites
  • Social Media
  • Design
  • Communications, Public Relations and Digital Marketing
Premium Directory Profile
As a Collective Member your Artist Directory profile (if you've set one up) will be upgraded to a premium profile. As well as looking a bit different, we can offer you flexibility beyond the set structure of our standard profiles. We invite members to contact us and discuss what they need their profile to do, and we'll then make changes to ensure it works for them.

Premium Artist Directory profile options include (but are not limited to):
  • Break away from the set structure and organise content in a way that works better for you.
  • Add additional sections and content to your profile including more images of your work.
  • Include more buttons and links to other webpages.
  • Include files for visitors to download.
  • Embed content in your profile (such as a MailChimp sign-up form).

ONLINE GALLERY & STORE (COMING SOON)
We're currently working on an exciting addition to the NZ Art Cloud website: an online store!

If you've ever looked into setting up your own e-commerce website (online store) you'll know how time-consuming and expensive it can be. With our online store, we aim to take the pressure off of our member artists by offering a 100% supported online sales environment. With a professional team on your side, all you'll have to do is send us images and information about your work, and we'll list it in our online store and even help you with the advertising.

When your work sells, we'll handle the payment via a secure platform and the sale information will be forwarded on to you so that you can organise collection or postage of the artwork. We will charge a commission (yet to be decided) for this service, but it is our aim to ensure that our online store is an affordable, safe and supported option for our members.
COLLECTIVE EMAIL ADDRESS
We think that it's so important for Artists to present themselves professionally online, and we want to help you look the part with a snazzy collective email address.

Available to Collective Members only, an NZ Art Cloud email accounts can be accessed with your secure login from any device anywhere in the world, and can be connected with your preferred mail applications on your phone, tablet or computer.

Email accounts come with 250mb of storage and are accessible for the length of your membership. We have a limited number of email accounts for our members. In the event that one is not available for you, we can add you to a waiting list.

All collective email addresses have the same format: firstname.lastname@nzart.cloud

The technical details:
  • We are not a email provider, but because we're a collective we want to share benefits with our members. As a part of purchasing our domain, we have available a bunch of email addresses that we're not using so we're basically giving them away.
  • When you purchase a membership, you'll be asked whether or not you'd like a free email address.
  • The address will be your first and last names separated with a full stop followed by @nzart.cloud (E.g. jane.smith@nzart.cloud)
  • Each email includes 250mb of storage, and we'll send you instructions to that you can connect your new address to your mobile phone and set it up on or access it from your computer.​​
There are currently no collective email addresses available. If you choose to become a member, let us know if you'd like a collective email address and we'll add you to the waiting list.
