The Folio Selection Committee currently meets in January each year.

Provisional bookings may be taken from September.

Applications for membership will be considered on the basis of the work submitted.

Applicants may include an Artist’s Statement if they feel that there are aspects of their approach or their use of medium which they particularly want to emphasise.

They may also include sketch books or working notes where they feel these help to show how their final work develops.

 Applications may be in any medium.

4-6 pieces of finished work.

2-4 of the pieces should be framed or presented as you would present for an exhibition. Failure to do this may preclude your work from assessment.

Artists may also submit a C.V.  However it must be emphasised that this will not form part of the application and will not be taken into account by the Selection Committee in making a decision. It is intended only to help the Committee understand the background of artists once a selection decision has been made.

The Selection Committee look to see if the work is technically assured, demonstrates confidence in the way the chosen medium has been used and if the work offers distinctiveness and originality.

Small pieces of 3D may accompany the portfolio submission or, if too difficult to transport, we suggest that the original
submission be in the form of photographs with accompanying drawings or maquettes.
