[BAS Newsletter] New Competition for Members and March Art Matters theme

[Deborah Masters]

Dear All

Please find below the first online competition/exhibition of 2022 and the theme for March’s Art Matters meeting.

Postcard from 2021
For our first online exhibition of the year we will be putting together an exhibition of members work on the theme of “A postcard from 2021” . We very much hope everyone will take some time to create and share an artwork inspired by the theme. Obviously most of us won’t have made it to the beach last year but remember postcards come with all sorts of images on them, so what would a postcard from Bromley look like? Did you spend last year wishing you were somewhere else? Is there a message you would like to send 2022 before it gets too old? Please create something that could be produced as a postcard even if it isn't postcard size - a postcard is generally 148mm by 105mm or 5.8inches by 4.2 inches or  A6 in size. 
Handing in instructions are below

At our last competition a number of people created a series of works. We would welcome this again. As before we will create a dedicated page on the website and give the mailing list the opportunity for the mailing list to vote on their favourite artists works with an aim to announce the winning Artist on 22 April at a rearranged Art Matters meeting. 

Closing date is 11 April 2022 

Art Matters

The next Art Matters meeting will be Friday 18th March at 7pm. Paul will share the zoom details nearer the time as usual. You are invited to create a piece of Art work on the theme of Spring to share on the night. As usual all are welcome to join us with or wihout an art work to share.

Handing in Instructions for A Postcard from 2021

Bromley Art Society invites members to submit works for our second online exhibition with the overall title of “A Postcard from 2021”.

Works may be in any art medium, and in any size or format, 2D or 3D. Submission will in the form of a photograph of the work. We are not planning for this to be a selling exhibition. Exhibitors will have the option to include a short text about their work and/or contact details but this is not compulsory.

Submissions must be made at the latest by Monday 11th April - with a view to reporting back at the April Art Matters meeting on 22 April (rearranged to accommodate Easter) but we will post the work as it is received so earlier is fine. We will vote by email as before and the winner will be announced the Art Matters meeting and will feature on the front page of our website. Voting details will be sent nearer the time. The Committee will adjudicate in the event of a draw.

The exhibition is planned to be in place for a minimum of 2 months and I hope we will hold another competition later in the year.

As we don’t intend to have works for sale this time in this instance it will be free for members to enter. Each Member may submit up to 5 works.

The small print

The committee reserves the right to reject any work that is not of sufficient standard or is otherwise unsuitable for public display. Copyright in the works remains with the artist but submission allows the Society to display the work during the online exhibition and in advertising material for the Society thereafter.

Photography 

The photograph should show flat works without frames and without glazing and should be cropped to include only the work itself. 3D works should be sufficiently lit and have an appropriate background if needed. If you can please Photographs should have a resolution of at least 924 x 924 pixels -  it really helps us if you have saved the image with your name in the file name.  If there are any questions please let us know on exhibitions at bromleyartsociety.org.uk <mailto:exhibitions at bromleyartsociety.org.uk>.
