Joining DGA

There are two kinds of DGA membership: non-exhibiting and exhibiting membership. All members join initially as non-exhibiting members. 

 

NON-EXHIBITING MEMBERSHIP

 

Annual subscription £25 renewed Jan 2nd each year. Please note that the non-exhibiting membership subscription will increase to £30 from January 2024.

 

All new members join as non-exhibiting (NE) members. NE membership entitles you to join in with the well-organised summer and winter painting programmes run on Tuesday mornings all year round.

 

All members receive a copy of the spring and autumn newsletters, a programme of events, entitlement to 10% discount at some local art suppliers and a copy of the constitution. For each DGA exhibition, members receive a private view invitation for themselves and a guest (includes wine).

 

We always welcome new members, of any artistic ability, who are interested in the group’s aims. We especially welcome those who live locally (within a ten mile radius of Dorking) and are willing to take part fully in the group’s activities. Membership is open to anyone over the age of 18.

Once you are a member you then have the option to apply for Exhibiting Membership.

 

EXHIBITING MEMBERSHIP

 

Members present their work to a selection committee if they wish to become an exhibiting member. Selection takes place twice a year, in January and July. If  you are accepted as an exhibiting member you are required to pay an extra £5 for Exhibiting Membership, and you can submit paintings to the twice yearly exhibitions of members’ work. (The annual membership fee for exhibiting members is £30, increasing to £35 from January 2024).

 

Please read the selection criteria, as a guide to what the selection committee is looking for (PDF download at the bottom of the page).

 Members’ Tip: If you are interested in applying for exhibiting membership, it is worth helping out with the set up one of the exhibitions to get a better understanding of what is involved. It also helps if you have been to see our exhibitions to see the standard of work on display!
