One of the many advantages of joining the Art Section of the Club is the opportunity to show and sell your work in solo, small group or large group shows in the Club’s historic gallery Heliconian Hall. There is no charge for this but there is a 20% commission payable to the Club for each painting sold.

Show Calendar

The Club year runs from September until the end of June. Throughout the year, there is a new show every month, details of which follow:

New Members’ Show
In September, all new Art Section members who have joined the Club during the past Club year participate in a New Members’ Show held during the month of September.

Regular Monthly Shows
After the September show, the Art Section stages monthly solo or small group shows of its members’ work.

Art Section Members’ Group Show
Twice a year, namely December into early January, and late May (to coincide with the City’s “Doors Open” event) and continuing throughout the summer, the Section holds a group show for its members.

Workshops
The Art Section also offers regular workshops, demonstrations and or slide/talk lectures on various art techniques or on some aspect of the visual arts. The current fee for these is $10.00 for members and $15.00 for non-members.

Monday Sketch Group
Every Monday from September until mid-June, the Section organizes life-drawing sessions with a live model for Club members and non-members alike (10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon for quick poses, and from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. for a sustained pose.) The current fee is $6.00 for each two-hour session. Early in May the Group stages a show of participants’ work in Heliconian Hall.

Communications

Throughout the year, the Art Section meets regularly in the Boardroom to plan activities and to socialize. These alternate between day-time and evening meetings.

The Bulletin
The Club produces a monthly Bulletin which is mailed out to its members to keep them informed of upcoming events. As needed, the Art Section may produce an insert for this Bulletin with specific information for its members.
We hope this information has been helpful, and that you may decide to join us.
