Golden Plains artists invited to exhibit in winter showcase

AN EXHIBITION in the Golden Plains will be held mid-year, offering artists the opportunity to showcase their work.

Expressions of interest for Golden Spaces’ Winter Exhibition are open until 5pm on Friday 27 February.

A spokesperson for the Golden Plains Shire, which runs Golden Spaces, said the event provided a chance for residents to exhibit their work.

“The aim of Golden Spaces is to encourage community participation and access to opportunities in a local setting, providing professional development for emerging and established artists and creatives within the shire, a professional venue for the presentation/display of local arts and public programs, and enabling facilitation of equitable access to cultural resources for our community.”

The winter exhibition is expected to feature a diverse range of works, including 3D artworks, paintings, drawings, photography, digital art, sculpture, decorative arts such as ceramics and textiles, and literary arts.

Now in its third year, Golden Spaces hosts two exhibitions annually, one in winter and one in summer.

The winter exhibition will launch at the Bannockburn Cultural Centre on Saturday 6 June, where it will be on display for four months.

It will then move to The Well in Smythesdale for a further four months, before being exhibited at the Golden Plains Civic Centre in Bannockburn for another four months.

Golden Spaces is free to view, and a panel will select the works for exhibition.

3D artwork dimensions must not exceed 38cm in width or length and 60cm in height.

Artists may choose to sell their displayed works at a price of their choosing, which will be listed in the exhibition catalogue.
