Notes
VOLUNTEERING
The organisation of the annual Summer Exhibition is all done by you, the members and committee. Please remember to fill in on the entry form any offer of help you can give to the Exhibition.
Every exhibitor is expected to steward a 2 hour session. To book your time slot in advance of handing in your work please contact Janet Blackham. Otherwise you will be asked to fix a date at handing in.
SALES & COMMISSION
Sold catalogued work remains on show until the end of the exhibition, but unframed work may be taken at time of purchase. No replacement of sold work is possible, and unsold work not collected will be stored at a charge of £1 per week.
Commission is 20% of work sold at, or in consequence of, this exhibition.
ARTIST PROFILES
This feature has proven very popular, so we again hope to offer all contributing artists to the Exhibition an opportunity to tell visitors about themselves and their work. It will take the form of an A4 looseleaf folder with acetate sleeves. Artists will be in alphabetical order.
Each profile must be no larger than A4 size and suitable to slip into an acetate sleeve. It can fill 1 or 2 sides, but must be on separate sheets, and can include pictures and words. Your 2 separate sheets will be displayed opposite each other to make a spread format. If you wish to participate in this idea, please bring your profile on the ‘handing-in’ day, to be added to the file.
STEP FREE ACCESS
Between 10am and 2pm only, there is step free access to the main area of Dagnall Street Baptist Church Hall via the lift in the Cross Street Café (adjacent to the Church Hall).
AWARDS
All framed pictures, sculptures and ceramics are eligible for the following awards:
- TERRY BIGGS CUP for the work judged to be the best in the exhibition. The work selected for this award will be chosen by the visiting public.
- CHALLENGE TROPHY for the work judged to show most freshness of vision and originality.
- ST ALBANS TROPHY for the work judged to best capture the distinctive character of St Albans in an original way.
