Presentation and
Opening Celebration on Thursday 5th July 6 – 8
pm—Exhibition on display until Sunday 29thJuly
This will be our 5th Emerging Artist Awards
exhibition for those that are still finding their 'art feet'
with two fortunate artists coming away with an arts grant to
help further their arts careers.
Two respected judges
will award two grants to fresh new talent – one $1000 Arts
West Grant, including a plaque that the artist will hold for
one year, a feature article in Gallery36 online magazine,
and one $500 Arts West Grant.
This
concept was developed to bring out our hidden (emerging)
talent – the ones that have had little or no exposure to
the public - and assist them by guiding them through a
number of processes they will need to understand as they
emerge: applications for awards, competitions, funding –
exhibiting – advertising – building databases of buyers,
galleries etc.
The Emerging Artists Awards Grants have a
mandatory ‘accountability process’ that the recipients
will also be guided through. The grants must be spent to
further artistic endeavor (not to catch up on unpaid fines
etc :-)).
Good
luck!
