Subscription Fees

Exhibiting your pictures

Members have the right to submit for exhibition works of art that are original and have not previously been exhibited with the Eynsham Arts Group. (At the Summer Exhibition and Sale previously exhibited work can be shown.)

Work should be handed in between 10.30 and 12.30 on handing in days and collected between 3.30 and 4.00 on the last day of the exhibition.

Please remember that pictures need to be labelled with: 

Artists name
Title of the picture
Medium
Price

The label should stick out of the right hand side of the picture.

All pictures submitted for hanging must have eyelets and string on the backs so they can be displayed on the hanging rods.

Media that needs to be covered with glass should be properly framed with adequate hangings. (Clip frames are not accepted)

As of 1^st February 2007 hanging fees will be £1 per picture for all exhibitions, with the exception of the Spring exhibition which will be charged at £2 per picture. The increase in hanging fee is to help cover the cost of extra promotional spending during that exhibition. (Artsweeks/Preview evenings etc) 

Each member can submit up to three pictures. As long as there is enough space all pictures submitted will be hung.

The Group takes 10% commission on any work sold at the exhibition.

Mounted pictures or prints can go in the cradle at the artists own risk. They should be displayed individually and adequately protected.Please note all work MUST be mounted. There is no fee charged for displaying paintings in the cradle. Members are limited to four pictures each in the cradle. In the event that the cradles become overcrowded, the hanging committee reserve the right to further limit the number each member may display.

Cards need to be adequately protected and clearly priced. There is no limit on the number of cards members may submit for exhibition but should the card racks become full the hanging committee will try to ensure all members get a fair share of the space available. Any cards that we don’t have room for will be stored in the cupboard as carefully as possible.

The same 10% commission is taken by the Arts Group on all cards sold.

Please note, all artworks are displayed at the artists own risk and the Arts Group recommend artists arrange there own adequate insurance cover.

Exhibitors are expected to sit for at least one session during exhibitions. Durring the Summer Exhibition we really need exhibitors to sit for at least two sessions in order to get all of the times covered. (We are very grateful to members who volunteer to sit, often for several sessions, even when they are not exhibiting.)
