EVERYONE has a heart, and soon the walls of a local library will be covered with them, as part of a new art exhibition.<\/p>\n
BMAC Gallery’s ‘Everybody Has a Heart Exhibition’ is now taking entries, with wooden hearts available for collection for $10 each and extras for $7 at Lerderderg Library, by appointment.<\/p>\n
The exhibition will run throughout June, and BMAC hope to decorate the Moor Art Space with at least 100 hearts.<\/p>\n
“We’re inviting artists to decorate a heart with something related to their life. We have some interesting outlooks on different hearts, whether it be love hearts, a fiery heart, or a heart attack,” BMAC President Allison Durham said.<\/p>\n
“Everybody has a heart, so any artist can decorate a heart however they want to express themselves. It’s open to the crocheters, painters, abstract artists, assemblage artists, mosaic artists\u2026so many fields of art.”<\/p>\n
BMAC Secretary Bev Baker said the hearts all being the same size would mean the exhibition could be looked at as both many individual artworks, and as a unified display.<\/p>\n
“It’s very exciting. The idea is that all the hearts will be identical in shape and size\u2026you can look at it as one big picture, or as a lot of individual hearts,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We want people to tell a story with their heart, it can be funny, it can be sad, it can be happy, it can be anything.<\/p>\n
“We’re accepting contributions from right across the board.”<\/p>\n
