Professional Artist

Professional Artist is a GOLD level membership of the World Association of Artists™ ℠ ®. All members are required to have achievements in their artistic fields. Each member will be evaluated every year for his/her qualifications.

As per the WAA membership requirements, each participant should submit three own artworks (or provide three own artwork links) to the WAA for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the participant’s qualification. Please SUBMIT your artworks (or artwork links) at https://waa.world/submitting-artwork-for-gallery/ after REGISTERING for membership. If without receiving the joiner’s artworks (or artwork links) after 90 days of registering, the WAA will issue a “The WAA Good Friendship Certificate” (instead of a Certificate of Membership) to him/her. The holder of the Good Friendship Certificate will not have any membership benefits.

Starting in 2026, except for the basic requirements to submit three own representative artworks, etc., each applicant for Professional Artist (GOLD) must also submit a letter of recommendation from a WAA Professional Artist (GOLD) level member or an internationally renowned (world-famous) artist from the applicant’s country (or other places). Specific details of the WAA acceptable internationally renowned (world-famous) artists will be announced separately.
