Membership Access
We believe financial circumstances should never be a barrier to participation in our community. If the cost of membership is not accessible to you at this time, simply email qtca.caa [at] gmail.com to request a complimentary membership. No explanation or documentation is required—just send us an email.
By offering complimentary memberships alongside a community-supported sliding scale, QTCA acknowledges the unequal distribution of resources within academia, the arts, and cultural work. Members who are able to contribute at higher levels help ensure that our community remains accessible to everyone.
