The preview evening will continue to be free to members and their invited guests. Two tickets will be available to each member. Members can request extra invitation tickets to the preview evening from the Exhibition sub-committee. We will be offering members and guests refreshments.
As in previous years we have invited the Mayor to open the exhibition at the preview evening and make the Mayors choice of his favourite picture. In addition we are inviting a guest judge to award further prizes for members work at the preview evening in both the art and craft categories.
Exhibiting
This year members will be able to apply to exhibit 3 hung pictures (framed artwork or box canvas), 6 unframed paintings (including giclee prints), 5 craft items and 20 greetings cards. We will exhibit as many as possible. However we reserve the right to reduce the number in each category according availability of space.
Individual craft items will be displayed together in a Fareham Art Group shared craft space.
