Welcome to the Fine Arts Painting Club (FAPC). If you wish to sign up for a painting class you are invited to become a member to do so. Dues are $25.00 per year. A family membership is $35.00. If you join the club between October 1 and December 31, your dues are valid from date paid through the following year. Dues must be paid in order to take any classes starting in January 2024.
There are a couple of easy steps to becoming a member and taking a class:
- 1) First, the Robson Corporation requires all CATC club users to sign a waiver form. We have incorporated the waiver into our annual membership form. To become a member, or to renew your membership for the next year, please come to the Art Studio during club hours or at your first class for the year, and one of the Monitors will get you the correct form. You may also print out the membership form shown in the documents section of “About Us” , complete it, and return it to the Monitor with your annual dues.
- 2) Next, to look for a class you might be interested in go to the FAPC website at www.qcfapc.com. Go to the tab called ACTIVITIES. You will see classes listed by month and a calendar to the right. You can also learn about class offerings by reading the QC What’s Happening newsletter. The FAPC President will also send out a periodic membership emails about new class offerings.
- 3) To sign up for a class read the class description on the WEBSITE. You will find the date the class is open to for registration AND the email address of the instructor in the class description. Email the Instructor to let them know which class you wish to register for.
