Clevedon Art Club organises two major exhibitions each year.
The annual Open Exhibition is held over 15 days in late August/early September when both members and non-members may each
submit four works. These are presented before a selection committee of 3 artists of standing, including at least
one Royal West of England Academician. Traditionally, about 250 works (paintings and drawings, etchings, screen
prints, lithographs, collages, enamels, ceramics and sculptures) are hung, though, in 2006, 300 works were selected from
a record entry of around 530. The Clevedon Art Club Open Exhibition has a long history of success and enjoys a high
reputation in the southwest area.
The 2012 Exhibition opens with the Preview Evening, on Friday August 10 at 6.30pm. Tickets for the Preview Evening
can be obtained by contacting the Exhibition Organiser. The Exhibition is then open from
Saturday August 11th until Saturday August 25th. Opening times are: 10.30am to 6pm (Monday to Saturday) and 2pm to 6pm (Sunday).
The 2011 Exhibition featured 300 works and had over 1500 visitors. The Open Exhibition was held in the Science Block
atrium of Clevedon Community School, Clevedon. The winner of the the Jean Kent Prize for Artistic Merit was Chris Stinchcombe for "The Old Mill, Bibury".
The President, Neil Murison RWA, gave the "President's Choice" award to Jonathan Kinkead for "Purple Streak". The
Selection Committee of Lucy Willis RWA, Patrick Daw RWA and Martin Bentham RWA gave "Selectors Choice" awards to Annie
Porter for "Phew! Pots", Brian Rose for "Ceramic Head", and Joan Hudson for "The Italian Cheese Maker".
The Members' Exhibition is held each year when the Club Members may display their work.
Recently, it has been held in the autumn and combined with a Christmas Sale of cards, prints etc.
All submissions are displayed which amounts to about 140 framed works and sculptures and 70-80 unframed paintings.
The 2012 Members' Exhibition will take place from Friday 30th November to Sunday 2nd December.
