hahaha...too right Paul!
Methinks RUA show could do with a boost this year......perhaps an intervention of some sort!
I leave it up to all the imaginative and spontaneous among you to surprise us...and make us smile!!!!

Oh i feel like having a rant again this year. No application sent to me this year again all because of a flippant remark at 2010 collecting day. (over heard by an academician, and my wife asked me what was the black X doing on the back of my shirt when i got home.) I have discovered there is no humour in the art world except for some of the art put in by the elite.
Ah well i shall keep on doing my art but never on a sunday Ben.

did you apply James, or have you just been de-listed?
I really don't understand the reverence around such things.

If only the RUA did get that sort of money for every art work shown. The cost of the annual exhibition is not cheap, all works are professionally handled from submission to exhibition. The President and Council of the RUA are all practicing artists who give their time freely, all contributions from the Academic body during the annual and throughout the year is voluntary.

since you're on the council Rosie, you should be able to elaborate on the amount of entries- % of entries actually shown from non members, the income generated from failed entries, the actual cost of the event, how much is offset by sponsors, All the prizes are sponsored, so that's something already covered. How much is the ulster museum charging to host?
just interested, your statement of 'not cheap' doesn't really mean a lot

I do not have that information on hand Paul, I am sure if you asked the office at the R.U.A they would help you with answers. In context, the annual is a very well attended show and a showcase for aspects of the visual arts in Northern Ireland, the academy is evolving with new ideas and projects at present and aims to exist beyond just one annual exhibition.

I can't really comment on the content that much since I've never been to one of these, but if it's in the museum I'll catch this one.
I am pretty sure that those questions have been asked before and met with just as much ambiguity.
I have issues with the whole pay to play competition and fancy art clubs thing anyway. Thankfully, I have no real desire to be a part of any of it, or waste what little money I have for a 5% shot at an ego boost.

Paul, I am answering you with "ambiguity" because I don't actually live in Belfast so I am not able to attend every council meeting. I wish you all the best with your work and every success without having to be in ego boosting exhibitions etc
