Notes for Exhibitors
ABERGAVENNY ART GROUP
85th ANNUAL EXHIBITION
to be held at Holy Trinity Church Hall, Baker St, Abergavenny
from Saturday 29th July 2023 to Saturday 5th August 2023.
Members of the Art Group are invited to submit up to 8 original pieces (plus 2 reserves) of primary artwork in any medium (including pottery and sculpture) only one of which may not be for sale. Paintings which have been exhibited previously can be accepted provided that they have not been shown within the previous 3 years. Copies and prints of original work will not be accepted for display within the exhibition but may be offered for sale as secondary art work (see below).
There will be an exhibition/hanging fee of £3 for each piece of work submitted (to a maximum of £18) and a commission of 20% will be levied on all work sold. All entries should be labelled with the Name of Artist, Title, Medium, and Price and are submitted at the owner's risk. You should ensure that all pictures are securely framed. Canvases on stretchers may be presented unframed provided that the edges are also painted. Paintings must be corded for hanging so that the cord is not visible when hung. A catalogue of the exhibited work will be produced.
Secondary art work: Members who submit primary work may also submit an equal number of pieces of unframed original work, copies or prints. Watercolours, pastel drawings and the like must be mounted and wrapped in cellophane. The work must be labelled on the reverse with the Name of Artist, Title, Medium, Price and Original, Copy or Print as appropriate. If any of these items of secondary work is sold, a commission of 20% will be levied. Secondary work will not appear within the catalogue and you should keep a record of what you have submitted.
Submission day will be Friday 28th July 2023 between 10am and noon at the Church Hall.
There will be a Private View to be held this year on Friday 28th July.
Members or their proxy must collect all items of work no earlier than 5:00pm on Saturday 5th August. It is hoped that artwork which is purchased during the exhibition might stay on display until the close of the exhibition when it should be collected. However, when a painting is purchased by a visitor to Abergavenny, the painting may be removed immediately. To avoid having a gap within the display of artwork, members are asked to submit up to two reserve pieces of work if you wish. However, reserve items may not be listed in the catalogue.
Every effort will be made to exhibit all work correctly submitted, but the Art Group Committee may withhold paintings if there is a lack of space or the work is considered too large. Exhibitors are responsible for insurance of their work during the exhibition.
If you intend to submit artwork for the exhibition you must complete the Submission Form and return it no later than noon on 12th July 2023. The Art Group committee reserves the right to exclude from the exhibition artwork for which the Submission Form was returned late.
Please note that all exhibitors are required to steward at least twice and preferably three times during the exhibition. Please state the days and times that you will be available on the Submission Form.
