Buying Artwork at AAS Online Exhibitions
Using the OESS exhibition facility, two options are available on each artwork page:
Buy Now button:
This enables a buyer to purchase and pay immediately
The buyer can see the Terms and Conditions and enters his card details
Once payment is confirmed by Stripe the red dot appears on the artworks
An email is sent to the administrator stating artwork, price, artist name, artist email, buyer name and buyer email.
The buyer receives a receipt from Stripe.
The AAS OESS administrator informs the AAS Secretary, emails the contact details of the buyer to the artist. The artist must then arrange for the delivery of the artwork. If the cost of delivery has not been included in the sale price, the artist must arrange for payment of the delivery cost in line with the exhibition rules (which will be laid out in the Terms and Conditions).
Under GDPR regulations, by entering into the transaction, the artist and the buyer agree to allow their contact details to be shared with the art society, and with each other for the sole purpose of negotiating the sale and delivery of the artwork.
AAS artists are amazing! We adapted and thrived during the four-year closure of our main exhibition venue, we successfully created our first on-line exhibition in 2020, and we are looking forward to what comes next.
An exciting new initiative is now being launched to celebrate our talents and our diversity by producing one collaborative composite artwork – “Facing Forward” Members are invited to donate images of self-portraits which will be arranged in a grid format as a poster for the AAS. Here we all are! The final combined image of all our faces will be primarily used for publicity purposes and may take any form – website illustration, projection onto internal or external walls, or printed as AAS promotional stationery. And all arranged within current Covid 19 health restrictions!

AAS Video project
Last summer saw AAS embark on an exciting new venture. We commissioned Aberdeen based film maker Martina Cook to produce a series of documentaries about the Aberdeen Artists Society called ‘A Conversation in Time’. Our first release put the spotlight on Anna Shirron, an early career artist and member of the society. It follows Anna’s career since graduating from Gray’s School of Art and highlights her engagement with Grampian Hospitals Art Trust and explores her aspirations for future projects. The film is accessible via a link on our website: https://aberdeenartistssociety.co.uk/video-documentaries/
