Joining the Dorking Group of Artists

The Group accommodates any level of artistic experience or expertise. We always welcome new members whether interested in participating in all or part of the Groups activities, especially when they are willing to help with its organisation and suggest new ideas to move the Group forward.

Types of Membership

NON-EXHIBITING MEMBERSHIP

Standard and initial level of membership.
fees: £20

Non-Exhibiting Member: Entitled to attend all the Group’s activities.
Membership is open to anyone upon submission of an application form and subscription. Many Non-Exhibiting Members are beginners trying their hand at a new skill, while others may have more experience and like to benefit from the social or tutorial side of our activities.

EXHIBITING MEMBERSHIP

Entry for either level of Exhibiting Membership is through submission of work for assessment by the DGA Selection Sub Committee and payment of subscription, once you have become a member.
Submissions for Exhibiting Member selection take place twice a year.

Associate Member: Entitled to attend all the Group’s activities, and exhibit paintings at the Spring Exhibitions.
Associate Members are those who like to have the opportunity to exhibit with the Group while developing their work to a higher level.

Full Member: Entitled to attend all the Group’s activities, and exhibit paintings at both the Spring and Annual Exhibition.
Full members are those who produce a consistently high standard of work and want to be more active in exhibiting their paintings. Some are professional artists, others semi professional or purely hobby artists. Our more experienced and professional members provide the Group with invaluable tutorials, workshops and critiques within the Winter Programme.
