Annual Exhibition
Every Spring, the club has its Annual Exhibition. Every club member can enter, and our aim is to have every member able to have at least one piece of work on show. Entry is always subject to the conditions which ensure that the quality of the exhibition is maintained, but the club is amateur and has historically achieved its ambitions for member participation. There is only a very modest charge for entering the Annual Exhibition. The Lillie Art Gallery retains 15% +VAT of the sale price of each item.
Since longer than can be remembered the Annual Exhibition has been held at The Lillie Art Gallery in Milngavie. The exhibition is over four weeks and the club is indebted to the gallery staff for their skill in hanging the work, mainly paintings but also including ceramic and textiles. The Lillie Art Gallery has an impressive permanent collection, and holds exhibitions throughout the year displaying both parts of its own collection and also special exhibitions which attract interest from near and far.
Many now famous artists began their career at our annual exhibition. We hope that others will follow.
The images on this website are (mainly) by club members. Those appearing first on this page are the prizewinners of 2019. Click on each image to see better and to find out the name of the artist.
2024 Annual Exhibition
This will take place at The Lillie Art Gallery Milngavie from 13th Aprilto the 9th May. The Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.00am to 1.00pm and 2.00pm to 5.00pm.
Most of the club members' work is for sale, in the setting of this well established gallery which houses part of the permanent collection of East Dunbartonshire Council. Our exhibition will appeal to most with an interest in art, including paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour, ceramics, textiles, sculpture and multi-media. Club prize-winners display their work alongside other work by members (some of whom may be exhibiting for the first time). Ours is a quality exhibition which attracts attention from near and far.
