SIDMOUTH SOCIETY OF
ARTISTS

The Manor Pavilion Theatre, Sidmouth
We are privileged to be working in partnership with the Manor Pavillion Theatre in Sidmouth. The theatre has shows all the year round so it is a great opportunity to show our wonderful range of paintings to theatregoers. By the way, the theatre has a 12 week Summer Season of different plays which are well worth watching!
​
SSA Members are offered the opportunity to submit one painting to be hung at the Manor Pavillion for the duration of each session (Normally 6-8 weeks). There is a nominal fee to enter your painting of just £5.00 - payable at the door. The paintings are quite often sold and when that happens the SSA take 10% commission on the sale.
Conditions of entry...
- Entries must be your own work. If you have used another artists’ painting, tuition or photograph as your inspiration, please be sure to have their permission & credit them accordingly – for example ‘after a painting by…’ or ‘from a photograph of…’. Originals paintings, monoprints and framed prints of your own work are all accepted.
​
- Please include your name, title of the painting, medium and price on the back of your painting.
- All artists are encouraged to submit there own label for hanging (generic labels will be available at the event). Please include your name, title of the painting, medium and price on your hanging label too.
