GENERAL CONDITIONS RELATING TO EXHIBITIONS
- The Exhibitions are only open to current members of the St Neots Art Group who have paid the subscription for the current year and its honorary members.
- All artwork displayed should be the original work of the exhibiting artist and should not be copied directly from photographs or published copyright material that is not the property of the exhibiting artist.
- Where paintings are offered at a reduced price the onus is upon the member to ensure the reduction is genuine and would not falsely encourage the public to buy. The member indemnifies the Exhibition organisers and St Neots Art Group generally against any liability relating to pricing.
- St Neots Art Group will not take any responsibility for problems arising from breach of copyright.
- St Neots Art Group accepts no responsibility for the loss of or damage to artwork during their mounting, display, de-mounting and storage awaiting hanging or collection.
- Where exhibitors deem it necessary to do so, they can arrange their own insurance for exhibits.
- After delivery of art work to the exhibition members are required to remove all bags and wrapping from the exhibition venue.
A GUIDE TO FRAMING EXHIBITION ENTRIES
Tapes to avoid are the generally available sticky tapes and parcel tapes. Masking tapes should only be considered useful as part of a process of framing and should not be used to attach artwork. By design masking tapes have a low-tack quality and will lose their adhesive characteristic over time.
- Securely tape the painting to the mount. (Pastel drawings require an extra thick or double mount to prevent pastel dust from soiling the glass)
- Insert mount into frame ensuring the inside of the glass is clean. Fix back of frame securely.
- Affix D rings to back of frame a quarter of the distance from the top of the frame. (D rings lay flat allowing the picture to be hung better)
- Use string or picture wire for hanging ensuring the top of this is below the top of the frame.
- Affix a label to the back of the painting with your name, title of picture and the medium used.
