Helen writes
"I am hoping that artists will respond to the theme and make a new work. And just to recap, the following outlines the idea I had:
The title, The Light Through the Trees may be seen as a metaphor for a time of relative comfort after more challenging times - light as hope and clarity, beyond darkness. As well as the conceptual side, the idea of light through trees is a very visual one, particularly in our region where we are surrounded by beautiful forests. The exhibition will bring together a richness of ideas rendered in various mediums.
The Light Through the Trees is a group exhibition including artists from the local area and invited artists from other places.
Works can be in any medium but must be no larger than 100 x 100 cm when framed. 3D works will be installed on a plinth, unless otherwise instructed. Works must be properly prepared for exhibition.
There will be a 30% commission on any sales, 10% of which will be donated to the Durras Progress Hall improvement fund. 20% will go towards covering costs.
I am so looking forward to the exhibition, Helen"
