Events, exhibitions and workshops

OUR EVENTS CALENDAR
Upcoming events, including social and club activities, are listed here and on our events calendar. If you are a member you need to be logged in to your HelloClub account to see the members only events on the calendar.

Our Annual Exhibition is supported by the Canterbury Museum and is one of the highlights of our year. We host nationally acclaimed guest selectors/ exhibitors to exhibit work alongside members of our association.
  • Open to current members only, this is a great time for students to consider becoming members, so they can submit their work. 
  • There are a number of awards made each year, which carry a financial prize – including one for first time exhibitors.
  • Our guest selector/exhibitor will usually hold a weekend workshop after selection.
