Join CAMP

CAMP membership is getting more interactive

From March 2024, CAMP is building a Mighty Networks platform. Here you will be able to enjoy all the features of CAMP along with added interaction with other members, the ability to organise events, share news, publicise exhibitions and ask for and share advice. Membership is open to individual artists/arts writers/arts producers/arts curators living, working and/or studying in Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

We are introducing new Pay What You Choose (PWYC) membership plans to give members options, to ensure we remain accessible, and to encourage those who can to support the work of CAMP. The different plans allow you to choose what financial contribution you can make to keeping CAMP going, but all give equal member status and access. PWYC A is an accessible rate aimed at ensuring CAMP is affordable. PWYC B is a basic level that reflects the minimum costs of keeping core CAMP activities going. PWYC C is a rate for those who can afford to support the wider work that CAMP does. Membership plans begin at £4 per month for PWYC A.

To join CAMP simply follow this link and choose from one of the Membership Plans.

There is an initial FREE TRIAL period of one week before you are charged any money. You can choose an annual membership payment, or to pay monthly. You will make a small saving by paying annually. You will get a reminder before your free trial period ends, and before any further payment.

By becoming a CAMP member you are also agreeing to CAMP’s Code of Conduct.

artist duos:

Established artists duos that have a collaborative practice can become members under their collaborative name and subscribe to one Membership Plan. If an artist duo wish to have separate log ins on the Network they should contact a Network Host. (NOTE: for artist duos PWYC A is not available). Any CAMP opportunity awarded will be shared between members of the duo (i.e. all fees, bursaries etc will be shared not doubled). Artist duos must each buy tickets for any ticketed CAMP events or workshops where numbers are limited (i.e. you cannot share a ticket).
