Master Signature Members: These artists have been recognized as Master Signature Members having received the prestigious Society’s Award of Excellence five or more times.
Distinguished Signature Members: These artists have had the honor of having their work included in a minimum of fifteen (15) Annual Exhibitions.
Signature Members: Signature members are considered full members of the Society and are granted all privileges of Society membership. They are recognized as having attained the highest level of ability in the field of animal art and consistently uphold the Society’s standards of excellence. They are entitled to vote in Society matters and use the initials “SAA” when signing artwork.
Signature Members may receive further recognition as Master and/or Distinguished.
Associate Members: Associate members are granted many of the privileges of Society membership and are eligible to submit work to all exhibitions. Associates may not vote in Society matters or use the initials “SAA” when signing artwork. Associates may become Signature Members by jury vote or by earning points in Society shows and exhibitions. Associates are automatically promoted to Signature members if they receive the Award of Excellence in an Annual Exhibition.
Honorary Members: Individuals upon whom the Society has conferred Honorary Status.
Emeritus Members: Former officers of the Society who are still active in the organization.
