ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Up to 5 framed paintings per member. £2.50 hanging fee each or £10 for 5. Paintings should not have been exhibited at previous Art Club events. (Framed Prints cannot be accepted for hanging). There will be an opportunity to exhibit browser and craft items and cards. The usual rules for exhibiting craft items will apply.
Use the normal hanging entry forms.
Entry forms, hanging fees and paintings should be handed in together on any Friday and Saturday during normal opening times. The last time for entry is 16.00 hrs on Saturday 8th June.
Members exhibiting are invited to sign up for two periods of duty (totalling at least 4 hours) to support the exhibition. The duty roster is available in the Gallery.
If entering a “Not for Sale” painting this must be accompanied by a for sale painting.
Members should be aware that any work copied from other artists, paintings or photographs including those taken from books etc., should acknowledge the original artist or photographer.
FRAMING STANDARDS ARE THE SAME AS FOR ALL EXHIBITIONS – See News Post dated 6th May 2024 for details
Paintings will not be hung unless they are properly framed and have ‘D’ rings no more than one third down from the top of the painting and are tightly corded. Screws and rings must be covered by a small amount of padding (foam or bubble wrap) secured with tape to prevent damage to other works.
The backs of framed paintings must be sealed with brown framing tape (not masking tape or parcel tape).
Unframed stretched canvas paintings are acceptable if finished neatly at the edges.
Labels for the exhibits are available in the Gallery and in the Studio at Townhill. Please make sure your labels are clearly written in block capitals in black ink and that the details match those given on the entry form. Please tie the label to the hanging cord with a length of string long enough to drape over the top of your painting so it can be seen from the front (for initial hanging purposes).
COMMISSION
A commission fee of 25% will be taken on all painting sales.
Unsold work will be left to hang in the Gallery until 27th July 2024 with no additional hanging fee payable. However, members will need to sign up for additional duties during that period.
The club will refuse any pieces of work not meeting these requirements. Exhibits will not be insured and are hung at the owner’s risk. Members may wish to arrange insurance for their own work.
