Member Agreements // Code of Conduct

Members are expected to remain in good standing with Cowgirl Artists of America and the general art community, and to behave in a professional and ethical manner. We understand that “ethical” is a somewhat subjective term, so we have attempted to provide some clarification and guidance here. However, this list is not exhaustive and we reserve the right to make the final judgment on professional and ethical violations; and whether or not to discuss the issue with a member or immediately revoke a membership.

*Members are expected to act in a professional manner in their business dealings and while at art events, etc.
*Members should not engage in any activities that would be considered unethical by the general art community, such as copyright infringement.
*Members will take ownership for their own responsibilities. When applying for or participating in shows and other opportunities (both inside and outside CGA) members will ensure they uphold their obligations and take responsibility for following through with their agreements. If a mistake occurs or something happens, members will be communicative and do their best to fix the issue. Further they will professionally accept what the organizer(s) determine can or can't be accommodated.
*Members will always communicate professionally and respectfully with the CGA team.
*Members are expected to abide by our terms and conditions.
*Members are expected to refrain from political discussion on our platforms and at our events.
*Members should respect the privacy of other members. Do not share information discussed in our member groups or platforms outside of that space without permission.
*Members will not share any CGA members only downloads, information, content, media, or etc. These things are meant only for members to use while their membership is active, or only for the person who purchased the item. Our resources are not to be copied, edited, distributed or shared in any way without our express written permission. (See Terms and Conditions)
*Members will not behave or speak in a violent, threatening, suggestive, or harassing manner.
*Members will not behave or speak in a way that demeans, makes fun of, or is harmful to anyone.
*Members will, through their actions and words, promote a supportive community experience.
*Art created in part or in whole using a.i. (artificial intelligence) is not allowed in CGA events, shows, member space, or other CGA areas.
