Parking: CAC Artists are charged monthly to support the cost of a limited number of parking permits that are available for all CAC artists’ use on a first-come-first-serve basis. This fee varies depending on the annual cost and whether or not funds have been donated to subsidize this expense.
Air-conditioning: there is a one-time $30 summer air conditioning fee paid each year by Artists renting either private or shared studio space.
Glazing fees: Built into the kiln firing fees is the cost of using CAC glazes and glaze materials. If Artists use CAC glazes when firing off CAC premises, they will be charged a fee of $15 for the equivalent of 25 mug size pieces.

Community Support Hours
As part of the Artist Contract with CAC, Associate Artists are expected to contribute 21 hours per year and Artists with studio space are expected to contribute 36 hours per year. There are a number of areas in which you can provide support ranging from general clean up, glaze mixing, assisting with mailings, fundraising events, gallery prep, etc. Additionally, if you have a particular skill that would be useful to the community, ask about applying your talents toward your support hours. Community Support Hours are critical to the success of CAC and keeping artist fees down -- we are an artist cooperative that relies upon everyone’s participation. You can log your hours here. Contact your artist area rep for more information or for help logging your hours.
