I am now an elected full member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists

 June 2022 Royal Birmingham Society of Arts gallery - Candidates show.

Linda Nevill RBSA

Earlier this month I showed 6 landscapes created using pastels at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' gallery in the Candidates Show. As an elected Associate Member (2018) I was a candidate for full membership this time.

The artwork was displayed in the RBSA gallery and voted on by the members. I was delighted to be elected as a full member of the society and I am entitled to use the letters RBSA after my name.

I am delighted to have been elected as an associate member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.   

Last November my proposer and seconder signed my application form, I outlined my art qualifications and experience and the RBSA juried exhibitions that I had been selected for in the last few years.  The RBSA Council approved my application.   Then in April I submitted my 6 pieces of work and an artist's statement which were hung for a week in the gallery. During the course of the week the RBSA members and associates viewed all the new candidates' work and voted as to whether they should be accepted or not.   To be accepted it is necessary to obtain 50% of the vote plus 1.  

They voted me in!

Being an associate extends my exhibiting possibilities and it is wonderful to be part of this prestigious association.
