Our Tavern Jam workshops, Creative Writing Discussion, Moon Meditations, and Discord server including all its resources, prompts, challenges, motivation, and spaces to share creative work for feedback are FREE SERVICES provided by VGVS. Anyone is welcome to attend free workshops and participate in general server stuff without ever paying a cent! But if you want to help us grow and provide even more artist resources and opportunities for the creative community, you can become a legit Guild Member and receive all the extra benefits that come with that by paying annual dues of just $15 for adults 18+ or $12 for teens 13-17.

Beginning in 2026, we will also be offering an Expert Class Pro Membership for professional creators who want even more benefits and ways to share their creative work and their expertise! Expert Class Members must be at least 18 years old and pay annual dues of $75.

Our GOAL is to have 100 dues-paying Guild Members by the end of 2027! This would fund most of our regular operational expenses throughout the year with community support!

PARTY MEMBER BENEFITS

While everyone has free access to the Discord server and virtual workshops, only those who pay annual dues are considered Guild Members and are able to attend board meetings, vote on Guild matters, participate in certain events, and receive certain benefits. Dues-paying Party Members have access to exclusive channels in our Discord server, receive a 5% discount for paid workshops, and have the options to participate in exclusive creative challenges & events, submit their creative work to be featured on VGVS social media pages and our Substack blog, promote paid work and commissions in the "member promo" channel in the server, contribute to an annual special-edition members-only zine & virtual art show, participate in certain in pop-up art events with their local chapters, and more!
