Reserving Equipment and Studio Space

We use a facility, equipment and workshop reservation system called Rueshare. If you are a new member, you will receive notice of an account to “Rueshare,” after you sign up for membership. If you have been a member and have an account, that information will be updated as you renew or change your UMA membership subscription.

Before using equipment or our facility, you will need to create a prodution form. You can discuss this with an UMA staff member during your first training session.

Tracking Your Membership Payments & Donations

Sponsor/Member Payments Dashboard: You can track or change your payment info for membership subscriptions. You can also cancel your subscription or renew from the donor (member payment) dashboard. To access this dashboard, you may need to verify your email as a way to view it. You will NOT need to create an account. If you have questions about changing your payment information, feel free to email membership@umaverse.org.
