Dear Members,

*Please join us in an exclusive interactive demonstration this Friday.*

Please join us this Friday 1st April 7pm on Zoom.  Bromley Art Society 
has organised an exclusive interactive online demonstration just for our 
members by Ronnie Ireland. Ronnie, who has exhibited amongst others 
places in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Harrogate, Guildford and Farnham has 
studied at the Glasgow School of Art and offers classes, lectures, 
demonstrations and workshops. His figure paintings are as he quotes "my 
ways of trying to understand the world. Often, the images which appear 
are ahead of the understanding…..".  Zoom link to follow.

"From early childhood, I always seem to have had a pencil in my hand. My 
work investigates changing aspects of identity, whatever the ostensible 
subject or approach. The viewer is always invited to enter and complete 
the picture".

Ronnie will demonstrate two methods; a tonal approach and a free 
expressive one.

*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 *

*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.
