Questions?

Here are some answers to our most commonly asked questions about the society.

What’s the difference between the Alcohol Ink Art Community and the Alcohol Ink Art Society?

The Alcohol Ink Art Community is our open community open to anyone.  It’s a very large community and full of great information, resources and interaction. We have a large group on Facebook, over 54,000 members currently.  It’s free to be a part of the community.  Here on the website, we have a community member area too where where we provide some great “getting started” information, as well as organization of our public resources. Most all of our Society members are members of the community, as well.

The Alcohol Ink Art Society is a more focused, private group for those who want to be part of a closer-nit “inner circle” of alcohol ink artists.  The Society has its own private Facebook group, plus a portal here on the website with tons of exclusive eLessons and instruction.  The Society is supported by a team of the best, most dedicated alcohol ink instructors.  Society members enjoy monthly live and exclusive broadcasts at least twice a month on Facebook, massively discounted rates to our conferences/events, ability to participate in Society art exchanges and so much more!

I’m a beginner.  Will I be able to jump in and keep up with the lessons and presentations?

Absolutely.  We have lessons and resources available to members at every level. The beauty of Society membership for beginners is that you get access to some of the best of the best instruction in the Society and everyone is so encouraging and forthcoming with information.   We were all once beginners ourselves and we are also always learning.

Can I see a “sneak peak” of some of the eLessons included?

Of course you can! This isn’t a complete list but will give you an idea of the insane value of joining our community!

 What is the difference between annual and lifetime membership?

If you pay annually, your membership is available for as long as you continue to pay.  During that time, you get access to everything in the Society section of the website, as well as the resources and activities that occur in our Facebook group.  If you need to cancel or pause your monthly subscription, you can do so.  Your access to the Facebook group would be removed at that time. We understand that a recurring fee is an issue or pain for some folks, while for others its the difference in whether they can even join in the first place.   So we’ve crafted membership plans to accommodate most. We offer the lifetime membership for those members who want to pay once and never have to worry about fees.  Lifetime members get the same access and resources as annual members.  They just pay once and will be a member for life.

The proceeds from the costs of membership go right back into supporting the Society and Community.  There are a lot of behind the scenes costs involved including website maintenance, updates, software updates, hosting and domain name expensive, software expenses for website features, advertising, taxes and so forth an so on.   In order to continue to bring this fabulous resource to our members, we have to raise funds.   It would be great if it could be free, but  we have to cover the costs.   We really want the Society to be available to everyone who would like to join. If you are experiencing a financial hardship, contact us.  From time to time, we have other members who have offered “gifts” to those who may need it.  We can put you on a wait-list for gifted memberships.
