What is "Maketi Ples"? Where is it? When is it?
Maketi Ples is an Art
and Artisan exhibition held over a two week period in a
commercial gallery in Sydney (Shapiro Gallery). Maketi Ples,
through decisive strategies, managed by PT&I, promotes the
work of Pacific Islands based artists and artisans directly
to Australian consumers, designers, retailers, importers and
the Australian media. Building upon the successes of the
previous five Maketi Ples exhibitions, PT&I is pleased to
announce that Maketi Ples will return as the Creative Art's
keystone event in 2016. The exhibition period will be from
28th September to 9th October.
Entry to Maketi Ples 2016
will be extremely competitive due to limited space. To be in
the group exhibition ensure that the information you provide
in your EOI tells your story in the best light - no second
chances.
