South Coast artists still have time to showcase their creative talents as part of this year’s River of Art festival. Right now, there are several exciting options to become involved.
Entries for the River of Art - 2018 Art Prize close 20 April 2018.
Prizes and finalists for this prestigious event will be selected by a panel of three well-known local artists. Awards will be presented on Thursday 17 May 2018 at the SoArt Gallery in Narooma as part of the official launch of the River of Art Festival.
Finalists’ works will be exhibited during the festival at the SoART Gallery. Other artworks submitted will be on show at the Narooma School of Arts’ Studios. Both exhibitions will run from 18 May to 2 June, with many works for sale.
Entries for the River of Art - Land of Many Waters Exhibition close 17 April 2018.
River of Art has partnered with local Eurobodalla arts organisations to present this inaugural event, which celebrates the festival theme for 2018 - Land of Many Waters.
Above: One of many Narooma contributions to this exhibit will be the ‘Mosaicosphere’.
Mosaic artists and crafters are invited to intepret the festival theme in any material they choose, but mounted on a set-sized marine-ply board. All the individual mosaics will be combined to make up a stunning display – the Mosaicosphere – hung in the Montague Room, at Club Narooma.
To participate in the Mosaicosphere, contact Carol Hellmers on -439426405 or c.f.hellmers@bigpond.com
The exhibition will be on display during the festival at venues in Batemans Bay, Moruya and Narooma. Most works will be available for sale. Peoples’ Choice Award winners will be announced on Sunday 20 May.
