Open Studios Membership
Membership of the Lunesdale Arts Open Studios is open to artists of all disciplines who live and work within the Lunesdale area. If you are interested in joining, please use the Contact Form to get in touch and set things in motion.
Assessment of Skills
It is a requirement that a senior member of the Group visits your studio or workplace to briefly discuss membership details and view examples of work to ensure the standard of output is in-keeping with membership expectations.
Fees
Joining Fee
£150
This entitles the artist to show work during the first year of membership. This includes the publishing of images and text in both the Trails promotional literature and website. Plus the provision of directional signs for Open Studios events.
Showing Fee
£100
Following the first year of membership, each subsequent year an artist wishes to take part, a Showing Fee of £100.00 is required.
Membership Fee
£10
From time to time a member may decide not to show work during the Open Studios Event (or for a longer period). In order to retain membership and still have a presence on the website a Membership Fee of £10.00 is required.
Exhibiting During Open Studios
Members must exhibit work in their own studio or home. If this is not possible an option would be to reach an agreement with another Open Studio artist to display work jointly.
The Lunesdale Arts is a non-profitmaking organisation. All revenues generated by fees are used for the promotion of Open Studio events.
Membership Requirements
Group members hold regular meetings to discuss and arrange the development of the group. Members are expected to attend as many meetings as possible and to assist, where appropriate, with the management and promotion of Open Studio Events.
