"I joined WPA on May 17 as a way of connecting to the arts community in DC. I paid for the membership and slide file as well as the artist directory thinking that this was an incredible bargain. Within a month of joining I was contacted about participating in SEVEN. Before the show was even down a very good gallery saw my painting and wants to work with me. All this and I get free admission to the Corcoran and a discount on some art supplies. I love that you are doing shows for people who will be in the directory (even if it is just a handful) and putting members images and current exhibition info on your website. I am also a regular reader of your newsletter which is a rare free resource listing exhibition opportunites. I am totally satisfied with my membership in WPA." -Susan Jamison
