About Membership & Studio Time
Learn more about joining the Second State Press community as an Artist Member and the variety of options for using our studio.
Members are the heart of SSP.
Annual membership fees fuel the supplies, workspace, and programming that keep our presses running and our community thriving. Every member makes a real impact, directly supporting artists and the art they create.
Artist Membership
$50/year (Required for Studio Access)
An SSP Artist Membership is more than access to the studio - it’s an investment in a vibrant creative ecosystem, whether you’re working at our presses every week or cheering us on from afar.

Opportunity to rent studio time by the month or hour
Option to rent flat file space
Free storage for personal tools and belongings
Opportunity to participate in our annual Member Print Exchange

Supporter Membership
$100/year
Not every artist works at the press, but every supporter leaves their mark. By joining as a Supporter Member, you help keep our doors open, our presses running, and our community connected. Your contribution fuels creativity, nurtures learning, and ensures that this rare space for art and connection continues to thrive for all who walk through our doors.
A Supporter Membership includes all of the benefits of an Artist Membership plus a free ticket to our Annual Art Auction and Party.
Please Note: While a designated studio monitor will always be on duty, the studio operates as a self-guided, independent workspace. Members are expected to be knowledgeable in their processes, work safely, and follow all studio guidelines and best practices.
