Our Exhibition will be online this year
At this time of the year we would normally be gearing up for our Exhibition and the AGM. In these strange times we have, by necessity, had to make different plans. We are suggesting that, in view of the present lockdown situation, we should hold a “virtual” Exhibition online. Let me explain.
We are proposing that each member who would like to exhibit their work can submit four artworks, either framed or unframed, and send a digital photograph of them to Margaret Hing by email.
Please, if you find the medium of the internet onerous or intimidating, take heart! In the recent newsletter
Words of Art Summer 2020, Margaret explained how to go about getting your exhibits over to her for inclusion in the Exhibition. If you still find this confusing, help can be made available if you need it.
We propose to keep the Exhibition “live” for the month of September thereby giving everyone, including potential buyers, a chance to view it. The Exhibition will be advertised on social media and in local publications where possible. See the Exhibition 2020 page for more about what is happening and a short introductory video of encouragement from our Patron, Lord Faringdon.
I think there are also some advantages to exhibiting in this way including the length of time that the Exhibition will be available to view, the potentially worldwide audience, there will be no entry fee, and no commission will be charged on sales. The Exhibition will be funded from your subscriptions. However, the exhibiting artist will deal directly with the buyer by email initially, and then in whatever way they choose to take payment and arrange delivery. The Society will not be involved.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS OF LECHLADE ART SOCIETY
CORONAVIRUS (COVID 19)
Due to the current coronavirus situation, the LAS committee has made the decision that we cannot increase the risk of infection to the members. Therefore it is with regret that the decision to halt the Thursday meetings and Tuesday demonstrations has been taken. This is with immediate effect. Of course we will continue to take advice, both from a national perspective and locally, and we will reinstate all activities as soon as it is possible. Please keep in touch with fellow members and we will let you know when meetings will be resumed.
Note: Notice issued March 2020; some meetings have now resumed.
