What You Need To Do:

​Our summer exhibition is not far away, so now is the time to decide what artwork you want to display.
Please remember that if you use a framer for your pictures they will need plenty of notice, as this is a busy time of year for them! It is a good thing to consider going with the best frames you can afford as this can make or break your pictures. It also helps the exhibition to look professional and of a high general standard, and makes the job of the hanging committee much easier.
As most of you realise, the setting up of the exhibition is a huge job, so if any of you feel able to volunteer your services for that day the committee would be very grateful. We start at just after 8 in the morning but bacon rolls and fruit juice and coffee are provided for helpers! (Please let Penny know in advance if you can help).
One of the stipulations in hanging your work in the exhibition is that you need to agree to steward during the sessions when we are open to the public, so please bring your diaries to the 1st July 2022 meeting when the rota will be available for you to put yourself down for a couple of sessions. Simon Gray will be in charge of the rota.
You can find all the relevant information regarding entering art work on your forms [see below] , but please remember if you are entering cards, to fill in the separate form for this and send the form to Chris Poole.
