Profits donated to Lacock Primary School It may feel like summer has only just arrived in the UK yet we are already approaching the half-way mark, and before we know it the countdown to 2025 will begin! Time to get organised and ahead of the game. We’ve produced the Lacock Art Group 2025 Wall Calendar, featuring paintings produced by some of our members, which is now available to buy, priced at £10 per calendar. We are very happy to announce that we will donate all profits from calendar sales to Lacock Primary School, which is located in the village where we hold our weekly art group meetings. If you buy one of our calendars not only will you have some lovely art images to look at in your home but you will also be supporting a very worthwhile cause. Plus, the calendars make excellent, practical and appealing gifts. About our calendar The calendar is double A4 in size when open and hung up, with a feature painting on the top page and the relevant month’s dates on the bottom page. Each dates page includes a handy section for writing additional notes and reminders. How to buy a LAG 2025 calendar You can buy copies of our 2025 calendar at our August and November exhibitions as well as at forthcoming demos, while stocks last. Our next demo is at the end of October. Details of future exhibitions and demos are on the events page of this website. Alternatively you can request to buy copies by sending an email to: committee@lacockartgroup.co.uk and we will post calendars to you upon receipt of payment. Please include in your email:
Postage & Packaging All calendars come in a protective cellophane wrapper. Calendars despatched by post fit into Royal Mail’s large letter category, and we will post them in cardboard envelopes. This incurs an additional charge for postage and packaging of £2.80 (including the cost of the board envelope). Up to three calendars will fit into a cardboard envelope. How we selected the calendar images We invited all members to submit up to two images of their paintings for our committee members to consider. We received a great response and are grateful to everyone who took part. In the interests of fairness, we felt it was important to use a methodology for selecting the calendar images. So we asked committee members to choose their 12 preferred options plus two reserves, from the submissions. We collated their choices and ranked the images according to the number of ‘votes’ the paintings received, selecting the final 12 on this basis. To keep the process simple and speedy, our Chair, Joy Tickell, allocated paintings to months – some, of course, were self-selecting due to the subject. Joy asked committee member, Elspeth Wales (who co-ordinated the calendar’s production), to choose the cover painting, which she selected because it's eye-catching and general in its appeal. We wanted to offer as wide a representation of artwork as possible so we decided that each artist would only have one of their paintings included in the calendar. To see other artwork created by members please take a moment to look at their personal galleries on this website. There were a couple of requirements for submissions to meet, such as images/paintings had to be landscape in orientation and meet a minimum file size. We hope you find our calendar useful and would like to thank you, in advance, for supporting this project.
