FAQ

Who runs Arts Wayland?

Arts Wayland is run by the Arts Wayland Foundation, Inc, a 501(c)3 non-profit. Using mostly volunteers who chair committees, Arts Wayland has exhibits, programs and events. The Board of Directors of the Foundation meet monthly. 

Do you have paid staff?

We have three paid contractors, the Program Manager, Graphic Designer and Webmaster. All other work is done by volunteers.

Is it just for Wayland residents?

No, our membership and activities are open to all. There is no geographic restriction. However, artwork for exhibits must be hand delivered at this time if we are holding an in-person exhibit.

Are the exhibits just for members?

Not all. Currently, most monthly exhibits are of member work. We occasionally have juried shows open to all applicants. We are planning to have special exhibits curated by invited groups.

Can I join online? What is the membership fee?

Yes, we have an online process. There are two levels: $50 or $100 per year. You may also send a check with a note including your name, address, phone, and email to our P. O. Box 272 Wayland, Mass 01778

What are the requirements for members?

Please see our Art Exhibit requirements here.

Is any type of artwork allowed?

We are interested in showing a broad range of artwork. We are somewhat limited by size, for example, of sculptures. Because of our by-laws we ask that content be non political and family friendly. By art we include dance, writing, music, art history, theatre, crafts and two and three dimensional artwork.

Can I rent your space for a private event?

Not at this time. We will make exceptions on a case by case basis when we have space (anticipated in early 2025). 

Can I teach a program?

Please send an email to thew@artswayland.com with your ideas and we will work together to see if it is a good fit. 

I'm a musician. Can I perform?

Please send an email to thew@artswayland.com to find out about potential opportunities. Please note, our jazz program is limited to Berklee Jazz Faculty members at this time.
