ZNE Fondante Membership! FONDANTE is the founding tier of membership for variaZioNE, and Fondante members serve as the overall ZNE group steering committee. Fondante has a membership cap of 150 members. Fondante members also serve as the jury for ZNE juried art contests. There is no fee associated with Fondante Membership, however many members donate art, art supplies, and ephemera to the ZNE fund for mixed media art promotion. Fondante membership requires that you post on the Fondante member boards a minimum of once a month. All supporting members are eligible to apply for Fondante Membership. If accepted, Supporting Membership fees that have been paid are not refunded - however, so long as Fondante membership remains active, all future membership fees are waived. All Fondante applicants are asked to submit an artist statement and a link to an example of their mixed media art work. (Current work in ZNE Supporting Member galleries will suffice for this requirement.) All applicants are juried first by the group founder and moderators, and second by the entire existing Fondante Membership. Barring opposition, Fondante applicants are admitted to either the ZNE Fondante group, or added to the waiting list for the group - depending on whether or not there is space available. If you would like to submit an artist statement and example of your artwork for ZNE Fondante Membership consideration, please contact ZNE founder, Chelise Stroud Hery. back-to-top
