IWS Membership Card

Current members can obtain their membership card either from our website or during the online membership renewal process.

To obtain your membership card from the website, you will need to log on to your account using your username and password. Your username is your email. If you have forgotten your password, you can easily reset it from the login screen by selecting the Forgot Password link.

Once you have logged on, the menu at the top will have a Members option. Hovering over that menu option will display “My Membership Info. Need a Copy? Print Membership Card.”

Note, that for current members and those that have renewed their membership for 2026, you will see two blue “Generate Your Membership Card” options in your membership information page. The top one will be the most current, for 2026. On January 1, 2026, the option to print your 2025 membership card will be removed.

When you click on the “Generate Your Membership Card” button, an email will be sent to you with the card. You can download the attached file to your computer, copy it to your phone, or print the card using your printer. If printing to an HP printer, no scaling should be required.

If you have any questions or need any help, send me an email or contact me.

Dear Members,

It is time to renew your membership for the upcoming year. The early renewal period begins Oct 1 and ends Dec 31, 2025, for 2026 membership.

During this renewal period, the fee will remain at the current rate of $45. Please note that beginning January 1, 2026, the Active membership fee will increase to $55 as voted for in our current annual membership meeting ballot. If you opt to wait to renew your membership until Jan 1 or later, your membership will increase by $10.

In addition, PAPI, Plein Air Painters of Idaho, are currently discussing dues increase, but has not yet been finalized. The early renewal period for Dual Membership is also Oct 1 through Dec 31, 2025, at the current rate of $70. If you prefer to join PAPI without an IWS membership (Dual), go directly to the PAPI website.

Please note that after January 1, the Dual Membership rate, at minimum, will increase due to the increase in IWS’s rate, even if PAPI’s rate does not increase.

PayPal processes payments, but you do not need a PayPal account to complete your renewal. You can pay with credit or with debit card. Our decision to process all memberships online is due to all art organizations going completely online for both membership and juried and non-juried competitions. In addition, this makes the processing of renewals and new memberships more efficient and less prone to error. We appreciate your willingness to collaborate with us in this area.

If you prefer to pay for your renewal by check, there is an option to do so, by selecting Pay by Check at the time you complete your membership renewal. Paying by check will delay your renewal by a week or two due to the mail and processing time.

I am looking forward to working with all of you this year as your new Membership Director.
