Instructions for artists
Registration 9.00am – 11.30am.
Check in at the fast track desk if you have entered online.
If you are entering on the day, fill in the entry form, hand it to one of our volunteers and pay your £10 entry fee (cash or cheque payable to The Buxton Spa Prize).
Stamping
You will then have your canvas/paper stamped. You may have more than one piece stamped as we appreciate that things don’t always go right first time!
Working
As soon as you have been registered and stamped you may go and start work. The prescribed area is within 1 mile of the registration location at The Pump Room. Maps will be available at registration.
Submitting work
Your work must be submitted to us in the upper room of The Old Clubhouse (opposite Buxton Opera House) between 1pm and 3pm. Please do not arrive earlier than this as there will be no-one there to receive your work.
Remember to bring your easel along (table easels are fine) so we can display your work. We have a very limited number of easels that can be used if necessary but do bring your own where possible.
You will be given an artwork label to complete with details of your work.
Afternoon tea!
You then have a break whilst the exhibition is prepared and judged. The Clubhouse serves food all day and there are many good coffee shops within walking distance of the venue including No 6 Tearooms and The Old Hall Hotel.
Prize-giving
We aim to begin the presentation at 5pm so please return to The Clubhouse then (no earlier as we may not be ready).
After the presentation, everyone is invited to the Theatre Bar at The Old Hall Hotel for a glass of wine provided by Mr Trevor Osborne.
Exhibition
Your work will remain at the venue for the exhibition on Sunday. This takes place from 12 noon to 6pm. After this you are free to take your work etc. Unfortunately, we have no storage space and are unable to keep your work after the exhibition.
Sale of work
You are responsible for the sale of your own work. The Spa Prize ‘Come Rain or Shine!’ will not be taking commission on sales so please price your work accordingly.
If you are unable to be present for all of the exhibition, make sure that a member of the event team has your details so that buyers are able to make cheques payable to the correct person.
Alternatively we can ask people to contact you by phone or email.
Good Luck!
