About Guild Membership
FMPG isn't just a studio, we are a working community of volunteers. Members share the space, the equipment, and the responsibility of keeping our non-profit running.
Cleaning Attendance
Attend one cleaning per 4-month period to keep your deposit. Dates are emailed and posted on the studio whiteboard.
