Summer Artwork Challenge Social Night

Summer Art Challenge work will be hung on the walls of the Arts Society for a length of time to be determined. The Art will be open to the public to view for a limited time; details later.

Members will be asked to assist with this process e.g hanging paintings, being on a roster for viewing paintings, etc.

An Entry form will be provided. On this entry form please provide these details:

1. A description of your ideas and process for the painting; how did it develop?
2. Why did you chose the subject matter?
3. Did the finished artwork represent your initial idea?

Your entry form and process will be displayed in a lever arch folder during the exhibition and returned with your artwork if not sold.

• Winners will be announced at our Club Social Night on Friday 21st March 2025 with drinks and nibbles.

Depending on the success of this project, further 3 Month Challenges may be held throughout the year. Congratulations to Fiona Venables for initiating this concept and providing the details and process.
