This year has seen a lot of preparatory work ahead of the 2018 Mid Argyll Art Society exhibition in August. The popular show will again be held in the Drill Hall, Lochgilphead, and will run from August 6-11. As in the past few years, the Mid Argyll Camera Club will have photos on display. The society is harnessing modern technology in a campaign to raise the profile of this year’s event.
There is now a Mid Argyll Art Society Facebook page that can be used to get updates on what is happening. There will shortly be a website giving details about the art society, its history, information on the exhibition and how to participate, and photos of past exhibits to give a flavour of what the event is like.
A lot of work has been done on modernising the entry process. There will be the option of pre-registration for exhibits; the automatic production of labelling for the paintings and photos; instant printing of receipts; and immediate production of a list of entries to guide visitors. As in past years, people who come to view the exhibition will have free entry, with the option of making a suitable donation to the funds of the society.
