This year our Autumn Exhibition will once again be held at the Leas Cliff Hall and will be open to the public from Tuesday 15th – Sunday 20th October. Below is information for artists on how to exhibit.
Information for exhibitors
- Anyone can join Folkestone Art Society and exhibit at our shows. We do not ‘jury’ entries so any member can put forward works for inclusion and they will be included. Work submitted should not have been shown in a member’s exhibition previously. However, exhibitors must be a current member of the Society to exhibit. So, if you wish to exhibit but are currently not a member, please purchase a membership on our Join page first
