Exhibition rules.

The main points in summary are:-

2)  The hanging fee per artwork is £5.00 if the artwork is “For sale” or £7.50 if it is “Not for sale.” The entry fee is payable - cash or cheque - upon submission and acceptance of the paintings on the "handing-in day" Monday, 5th August.

 

3)  As detailed below, All exhibits must be labelled and prepared for hanging. Artworks submitted for the exhibition will be inspected before acceptance. Any that fail to meet the hanging criteria detailed below may be rejected.

 

4)  Members exhibiting are expected to steward the exhibition. A rota will be prepared on the handing-in day when you will be asked to commit to a 3-hour stewarding session.

 

5)  Failure to comply with the Exhibition Rules may result in rejecting the artwork(s). The Exhibition Rules are detailed on the Art Society website. A copy can be obtained from the Membership Secretary via the Contact / Membership webpage.

​

6)  Only ONE artwork will be accepted for the exhibition if it exceeds 75 x 90 cms (30 x 36 inches), including the frame.

​

Labelling and hanging instructions.
Each artwork, whether in landscape or portrait format, must have picture screws or D rings ATTACHED TO AND POSITIONED 1/3 OF THE WAY DOWN THE FRAME, NOT THE BACKING BOARD, along with a robust hanging cord. This will ensure that the artwork is displayed correctly.

* Name and telephone number of the artist;

* Title of the artwork;
* Medium;
* Price or “Not for sale.”
