I’m delighted to say I have been selected as an Associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art (the Drawing Society). This means I have some more letters after my name 😊ASGFA. Selection was through a portfolio of 12 drawings, in my case - woodcuts, and to have had work selected for the society’s annual exibition in two previous years.
The main criterion of membership, regardless of media discipline, is drawing excellence.
Founded in 1919, the Society promotes fine drawing skills in both traditional and contemporary media. Today there are more than 130 elected members of the SGFA across the UK — professional artists from all areas of the art world who work in all drawing and printmaking media. The Society organises events through the year, culminating in the Annual Open Exhibition with outstanding drawings by some of Britain’s finest professional artists, members and non-members alike. The Society also stages regional members-only exhibitions.
