We now communicate a lot using the Society web site – www.elyartsociety.com. However not everyone has access to the web site so information is also passed at the Demonstration Evenings or by contacting any committee member. We are here to help.
ARTIST PROFILE
At each exhibition we have an A4 book containing exhibiting Artists Profile Sheets. These are simple A4 sheets giving details about the artist and their work. We have found in the past that visitors like to look at these to find out something about the artists especially if they are considering making a purchase.
The sheets can contain whatever information you wish e.g. Medium used, type of work done, where you like to work, what inspires you, who influences you etc. It is also good to include a photo of you or your work.
If you wish to have your sheet included please bring it to the Handing In along with your works.
Jo Scarff is happy to assist you making up your sheet so please contact her if you would like help with this - Tel: 01353 778194.
