This year’s exhibition is a little earlier than usual and will run from Saturday 13th July to Saturday 27th July. It will be held as usual in the BB Hall, which sits opposite, and shares the car park with, Troon Swimming Pool.

It is a prerequisite that members who are exhibiting, participate in the Stewarding Rota, which is necessary for the success of the exhibition.

Portfolio works 

You can submit up to 6 Portfolio works - these are unframed works which can be maximum of A3  in size and up to 1 inch thick. These new restrictions are due to increasing number of members participating within a limited display space.

All artwork should be original. Cardmounts should be used for non canvas artwork and MUST be wrapped in cellophane, with a stick on label attached to the FRONT of the artwork, with the same pertinent information as the hanging works i.e. Artist name, Title, Medium and Price - see image on right:

Once again Committee members will be available to offer any help with the form.

Please contact:

Paul paul.nelis@yahoo.co.uk or

Sandra sandrainnestac@mail.com if you have any problems. Please complete the submission form by Monday 8 July

Members are asked to take personal responsibility for their work and ensure that it does not infringe any copyright.

We pride ourselves in our exhibition, and request that Artwork should be fresh and not have been exhibited at our exhibition previously.

Please note - portfolio pieces are not eligible for awards, only hanging pieces qualify.

Hanging works 

MUST be fitted with rings and string at the back

Hanging works must have TWO labels;  one stick-on label on the reverse side of the work, and one drop-down label attached by string, which must fall beyond the bottom of your frame (This is for cataloging purposes and the label will eventually be cut off once hanging of the exhibition is complete). Please make sure to label according to these instructions - see images on the right. Paintings with missing/incorrect labels cause significant problems for volunteers doing the hanging.

Both labels must provide the following information ARTIST NAME, TITLE OF WORK, MEDIUM, PRICE

Large works

It is the artist’s responsibility to provide a sturdy, professional easel for any work which would be deemed large.  The easel must be suitable for supporting that work in a public exhibition.

TAC Greeting Cards Fundraising Exercise

To keep annual membership low, secure quality artist demonstrations and cover the increasing costs of hall hire etc.  members are invited to donate images of their artwork to be reproduced as Greetings Cards, for sale during our Summer Exhibition, with all proceeds going straight to Troon Art Club.

Seeing your artworks produced as cards provides a new perspective of your artwork. It is also a very direct way of helping to fund the club, so please consider participating.

You may submit up to 3 images. The cost of producing each image (10 cards & envelopes) is £6 with our partner printers Copystop, Troon. Maximum outlay to artist is £18 for 3 images.

After the exhibition has ended we will return any unsold cards to the artist.
