How to exhibit
If you would like to exhibit with the SWA please contact us (see details below) for an
entry form. You may enter up to six pieces of work. (If you are seeking Associate Membership
you MUST enter six). We offer a special rate for young artists up to the age of 30. Our
annual exhibition is usually held in June/July, however selections take place a few
months before this.
Receiving days in 2012 are: Sunday 15th and Monday
16th April
Categories of work acceptable are: painting, drawing, sculpture in all media; miniature
work in all media, ceramics of a non-utilitarian nature, engraving, lithography, etc.
In the case of large sculptures, please contact the Executive Secretary as special
dispensation could be given for selection by photographs.
Associate membership
Associate membership of the Society is by election only. The first step towards
becoming an Associate member (ASWA) is to submit work regularly for the Annual Open
Exhibition for consideration by the Selection Committee.
Six works must be submitted if seeking Associateship. Although only four works from
each non-member may be accepted for hanging, a careful note is made of the quality
of all six, and if it is judged that they are exceptional then, subject to the vote of the
Selection Committee and the availability of space in the Society (which has a limit of
150 members), the artist will be duly elected to Associate membership. The Selection
Committee will only consider the six works presented, they will not take CVs, portfolios,
photographs or web page content into account.
The fact that six pictures have been submitted will indicate to the Selection Committee
that the artist wishes to be considered for Associate membership, there is no need to
make any special application or make any extra notes on the entry schedule.
