hArt of Mitchell entries close soon

ENTRIES for the hArt of Mitchell 2023 close at 5pm this Sunday, 28 May.

This exhibition showcases the work of artists aged 12 and over who live in, work in, or are connected to Mitchell Shire.

There will be two new categories for hArt23, the Climate Solutions/Environment Prize and the Youth Artist Prize (aged 12 to 24).

The theme for the Climate Solutions/Environment Prize is Nurturing Hope Through Creativity, which links to the ongoing development of the shire’s Climate Emergency Action Plan and should reflect what the artist personally values in the natural world.

Prizes range from $300 to $500 across categories and age ranges, and winners will be announced on opening night.

Works can be two or three dimensional in any medium, including digital, projections, painting, drawing, mixed media, ceramics, small sculptures, photography, textiles and jewellery.

The exhibition runs from Friday, 9 June to Sunday, 18 June (except Monday, 13 June) from 10am to 4pm at the Broadford Hall, 113 High Street, Broadford (enter via Council chambers).
