If you are a member of an art club or society take a look at our Art Club of the Year 2017 competition.

All UK art clubs are invited to submit a total of five two-dimensional works that you feel represent your club along with a written profile, including details about your club's history, members and activities.

We will select our top ten clubs to exhibit their five entries at the Patchings Art Craft & Photography Festival from July 13 - 16, 2017. The exhibition will continue at Pachings Art Centre until July 28.

An overall club winner and two runners up will be selected by well-known artist and tutor, Hazel Soan, and visitors will be asked to vote for their favourite club for the People’s Choice Award.

All work entered will be featured here at PaintersOnline.

To enter you will need to register an account for the club by clicking here and choosing the club, rather than individual, option.

Once registered you will be able to upload your five entries via the competitions page. Your club profile will need to be added to the biography area of the club account.

Prizes

FIRST PRIZE - £500 worth of Jackson’s art materials vouchers, a sponsored demonstration at the selected club venue by a professional art tutor and a profile about the club published in our magazines, online at PaintersOnline and through our social media channels

TWO RUNNERS UP - £250 worth of Jackson’s art materials vouchers for each club
