Responsibilities of Membership

FOCA is entirely member run, and the success of the organization depends upon the active efforts and participation of its members. Whether through service on a committee or the Board of Directors, by opening their homes and collections, or planning other programs and visits, member participation is not only encouraged but is an essential element of who we are. The active support of our members helps FOCA accomplish its mission, enhances local artists and institutions, and enriches every member.
