Become a member

Becoming a member gives you access to studio bookings, equipment rentals, and our newsletter, with information on workshops and upcoming events. In order to help grow our community, CDAH will share members' work and upcoming events via our social media platforms, newsletter and website with consent. You will also have opportunities to submit materials for videos and reels we publish. MEMBERSHIP IS FREE OF CHARGE.

Studio Engagement

Members are asked to fulfill a few requirements in order to maintain membership in the Studio:

  • Use of Studio: Members must abide by the CDAH’s user agreement, as well as provincial and federal laws while using/visiting the Studio, representing CDAH, or renting equipment.

  • Once a year, members are required to respond to a questionnaire designed to collect information needed for the CDAH’s annual reporting.

  • Contribution to the CDAH community: Members are encouraged to actively participate in the Studio community, for example, by attending in-person or online events/workshops.

  • Acknowledgment of CDAH support: Members are encouraged to credit the CDAH in any publicly presented projects created using CDAH resources.

Loss and Damages to CDAH Equipment

Members are liable and will be subject to replacement or repair cost for all loss and/or damage incurred to the equipment while in their possession.

Members are responsible for informing themselves of the value of equipment before checkout. In the event of an incident that results in loss, theft or damage of equipment, the User must immediately report the incident to the appropriate authorities and contact Studio staff. Studio staff will also report lost equipment to proper authorities. Lost and damaged equipment, or refusal to adhere to the CDAH User Agreement, will result in a revocation of membership at the discretion of staff.

CDAH insurance does not cover Members personally, nor the space they are in – activities inside and outside the studio are at your own risk.
