Art Group and PhotoClub exhibition to celebrate 125 years of the Club

 

Art Group and PhotoClub members are invited to create paintings and photographs, featuring all aspects of the Club, for a combined exhibition to celebrate its 125th anniversary.

 

We would like a broad spread of subjects and compositions; so be creative and think laterally.

 

There is limited space for display panels around the Club and so we will have a selection process.

 

Email photos of entries for the selection process to be received by 27th March 2026.

 

Click here for the entry instructions or take a form from under the Art Group noticeboard in Reception.

 

PhotoClub have begun taking photographs for the 125th Anniversary celebration with helpful tuition from Nigel Wilson. There will be practical guidance from Nigel during the first part of the year during his classes in taking photographs of sports, buildings, gardens, environmental portraits and anything that can relate to activities around the Club. Nigel will also be giving guidance on editing images for the submission to the selection committee by 27th March.

PhotoClub members may also submit individually their own photographs of the Club and events they have taken outside the PhotoClub classes via 125artwork@roehamptonclub.co.uk
