Art From Trash

 

Art From Trash is coming around a little earlier this year, with a booking in May. This has allowed us to have the gallery for longer, so this year we will have all your amazing work on display for two full weeks, including three full weekends.

To maximize our time in the gallery we will have the usual tight deadlines for drop-off/set-up/pick-up!

There are a few changes this year. To help cover our costs the entry fee this year has been raised to $20.

A size limit has been introduced of 2 metres in any direction. This is to help keep the exhibition open to everyone who enters, maximizing the number of individual artists in the exhibition.

For the same reason we may have to limit the number of entries per person this year. Last year we had 136 entries, and I am thinking once we get to about 150 we will be pushing the limits of the gallery space. This may not happen, it all depends on how many enter this year.

So, if you would like to enter multiple works you still can, but just remember we may have to limit the number. There is plenty of time from the entry deadline until the drop-off day to sort this out.

Entry forms will also be in Resource Collectables and Tip Shop early next week, and posters will be going up soon, too. If you know anyone that is interested please ask them to email me so I can add them to our contact list.

Happy art making!

Cheers,
