Promotion from Associate to Full Member (published on web Feb 2019)
  • Those members of the Society whose work demonstrates an outstanding level of artistic achievement may be elected Full Members of the Society. In judging candidates full account will be taken of their performance and reputation beyond the Society.
  • In order that their work may be judged by Full Members the candidates must have at least two works accepted for the main annual exhibition in two years of a three year period.
  • The candidate will then complete an application form signed by the sponsors which aims to take into account the work done by the artists outside the Society, their record and their reputation. This will be coordinated by the Promotions Secretary and panel, who, if satisfied with their candidacy, will then invite them to put forward a portfolio for consideration at the AGM.
  • The portfolio at the Annual General Meeting will be assessed by those Full Members who are present and a 66% YES vote will be required to determine promotion. A minimum of ten Full members present is the target.

If successful, those elected will receive a certificate and be entitled to use SEA after their name.

NB: For a Friend or Associate to have their exhibition record count towards promotion, they must have paid all their subscriptions in full for the qualifying period.

PORTFOLIOS (Associate Member to Full Member)
  • Portfolios will be assessed at the Annual General Meeting by those Full members present and a 66% YES vote is required to determine promotion.
  • Although there is no requirement to submit working drawings, Promotion Panels do find these helpful and those seeking promotion are encouraged to submit such drawings, if made.
