    Members' paintings inwards the Main Gallery of the Mall Galleries at the NEAC Annual Exhibition 2017

    The New English linguistic communication Art Club


    This is how NEAC explains its purpose as well as remit as follows
    The New English linguistic communication Art Club is a grouping of around 90 professional person painters whose operate is based principally upon straightaway observation of nature as well as the human figure. We aim to foster excellence inwards all our activities as well as maintain to aid as well as encourage the fine art of ikon to prepare fifty-fifty to a greater extent than expressive possibilities.

    Our Annual Exhibition is a showcase for our members as well as gives aspiring artists an chance to survive seen amongst some of the best figurative artists ikon today.
    In relation to its annual exhibition, it states
    The New English linguistic communication Art Club seeks operate which demonstrates excellence inwards both concept as well as draughtsmanship.
    The NEAC website has besides late had a makeover since I in conclusion looked at it as well as is greatly improved.



    Exhibition Metrics re. Open Exhibition 2017


    If you're thinking of entering the 2018 exhibition, I propose you lot select a hold off at the numbers I crunched for in conclusion year's exhibition as well as my comments below.

    I intend NEAC needs to survive a lot to a greater extent than explicit virtually
    • the role of the Open Entry and 
    • what the benefits are to those who seek to exhibit - inwards damage of the practical reality. 
    The organization of the exhibition as well as the issue of industrial plant existence exhibited yesteryear non-members inwards recent times does non persuade me that the opened upwardly entry is seriously seen equally a route through to membership of NEAC.  Candidates for membership involve to survive seen to survive exhibiting to a greater extent than than i operate - equally they practice inwards some of the other FBA Societies. (see the Artist Membership Application Process).

    Just ii people were elected to membership inwards 2017. Both are established professional person artists who were already members of other FBA Societies. One is the Treasurer of some other society.  It's besides really clear that NEAC sees itself equally a community of professional person artists.

    Suggesting that the route to entry of NEAC is via some other FBA Society as well as becoming an established as well as professional person creative mortal as well as NOT via this exceptional opened upwardly submission.....  Which may good come upwardly equally a surprise to some people who receive got submitted inwards the past.

    Personally I'm besides of the sentiment that hanging merely 25% of the exhibition from the opened upwardly entry is non a keen means to encourage people to enter. It makes it hold off similar the opened upwardly entry is existence used to subsidise an exhibition which is overwhelmingly (75%) virtually members' works.

    Also hanging all the members operate inwards the primary galleries as well as most of the opened upwardly submission inwards the North Gallery is somewhat pointed. Is this i exhibition or two?

    Frankly, inwards my opinion, the aim of an opened upwardly exhibition should survive to fund the bulk of the cost of an exhibition yesteryear selecting artwork of merit - yesteryear whoever - that generates a salubrious issue of sales - OR charging a premium to members whose operate does non sell.

    After all, allow us non forget that fine art societies started out equally a means of creating scale economies when putting on grouping exhibitions that enabled artists to enhance their profile as well as receive got careers equally a professional person artist.

    Exhibition Metrics 2017



    Here's my summary of the 2017 exhibition (from my review)
    This is peradventure the most uneven exhibition I've always seen inwards damage of the hang. By which I hateful biased inwards a scientific sense. I intend the best means of describing it is:
    • essentially an exhibition of artwork yesteryear the members 
    • a really depression commutation as well as small-scale "open" exhibition - inwards damage of nature as well as format of operate selected
    Here's my summary of the metrics - the functioning indicators - for the exhibition.
    • 415 artworks were exhibited inwards the 2017 open exhibition - across all 3 galleries of the Mall Galleries. Paintings included oils, acrylic, watercolour as well as mixed media. Drawings included charcoal, pastel as well as graphite.
    • Of these 415 exhibited artworks:
      • 312 (75.2%) artworks were yesteryear 79  members and 
      • 101 (24.3%) artworks were yesteryear 84 non-members plus 2 watercolour paintings yesteryear HRH Prince of Wales
    • Of the 84 artists from the opened upwardly entry, 
      • 10 were members of other national societies (most of which are based at the Mall Galleries). 
      • Leaving 74 artists with no affiliation to a national fine art society
    • The bulk of the 84 non-member artists alone had ONE WORK selected from the opened upwardly entry for the exhibition, with a few having ii works.  
    • Average issue of industrial plant exhibited yesteryear non-member - 1.2 artworks.
    Virtually all of the artwork selected from the opened upwardly submission tin survive seen inwards the North Galleries. Most of the operate hung inwards these galleries is small-scale to medium size paintings. Review: New English linguistic communication Art Club Annual Exhibition 2017
    • Most of the sales later on 4 days of the exhibition had come upwardly from smaller works (see my review) - as well as non a lot appeared to survive coming from members' works.
    [Note: By means of comparison, dorsum inwards 2015 some 1,000 entries resulted inwards 94 paintings, drawings, prints as well as watercolours (i.e. 9.4%) were hung amongst the 293 industrial plant yesteryear members. 

     Disappointingly, the issue of entries inwards 2016 as well as 2017 were NOT highlighted inwards the catalogues.]

     Many artists are concerned virtually the cost of entering fine art competitions. Digital entry has totally eliminated the cost of framing as well as transporting operate to London for all those who are unsuccessful inwards the showtime screening of their artwork. 

    However, given that entry fee as well as framing costs escalate with the issue of industrial plant entered, I'd propose people intend carefully virtually the issue of industrial plant entered. 

    Given that it's unlikely that to a greater extent than than i artwork volition survive selected as well as hung, I recommend that you lot consider entering no to a greater extent than than ii works.  

     It besides seems unlikely a large operate volition survive selected based on the 2017 exhibition - since most industrial plant yesteryear non-members were small-scale or medium sized works.

     You besides involve to ensure you lot come inwards ii industrial plant probable to survive compatible with the artwork hung inwards an exhibition similar this!  (That's where reviewing artwork inwards mortal or online comes in!).

    You tin notice out to a greater extent than virtually the 2017 exhibition as follows:
