Welcome to the AAS Summer Exhibition 2021

As I hope you will agree, our Online 2021 Exhibition which runs from Saturday 12 June until Sunday 29 August 2021, reaches a particularly high standard this year and the icing on the cake is that Aberdeen Artists Society has accordingly been able to award prizes to several brilliant works by extremely talented artists.

 
We send our warmest congratulations and best wishes to the prizewinners, and hope that these successes will encourage artists both young and old, professional and amateur, to develop their own special talents & potential, and to follow their own unique pathway towards the marvelous worlds of artistic practice. Aberdeen Artists Society

The MSD Design Ltd* and GRP Aberdeen Ltd* prizes for Drawing and Painting 2021 were gifted by Martin Stevenson, who is the owner of both Companies, with the aim of encouraging and championing traditional drawing and painting imbued with the British school aesthetic.

Facing Forward

Almost there! With the 2021 Open Exhibition under our belts we are now working on a Facing Forward image launch in July. If you haven’t already joined the collection, please send us an image of your portrait before the end of June. (As before: square format, 2 MB min, images and queries to admin@aberdeenartistssociety.co.uk please).

The responses have been so encouraging that we are planning to continue collecting our AAS ‘faces’ – updating and expanding the dimensions of the composite image – an image that we shall have the opportunity to use as an introduction to ourselves at the 2022 exhibition in Aberdeen Art Gallery!
