24 HR Art News

24 Hr Art Members Show 2010

Its slowly nearing the time of year when we like to thank our members for their support, and what better way of doing that than by having an exhibition of their artwork!

 

This year the MemberÕs Show exhibition dates will be from Oct 29 – Nov 20 2010.

The opening is at 6pm on Friday Oct 29.

 

So everyone put your thinking caps on, as the theme this year is:

 

 

ÒBurglarsÕ sex romp in victimÕs bedÓ
 
The first edition of the Northern Territory News was published on February 8, 1952. ThatÕs nearly sixty years of crocs, UFOÕs and bikinis or groundbreaking journalism – whichever way you see it!

The 2010 Members exhibition invites artists to have a conceptual encounter with their favourite NT News front-page headline. Works can be in any medium or format but must relate to the headline caption youÕve chosen.

 

 

Guidelines- To exhibit you must be a current 24Hr Art member, if youÕre not then hurry up and become one! You can download the membership form from our website or pick one up from the gallery. Members are only allowed to submit one piece of their artwork.

Registration- There is no need to pre-register your work, but you will need to bring in the registration form with the details filled, in along with the your artwork when you drop it at the gallery.  You can only get the registration form once you are a member, I will either email it to you or send it via snail mail.
Deadline- Members need to bring in their works NO later than 5pm Tuesday 19th October. Works will not be accepted any later than this date, no matter how small!

 

Good luck, and have fun!

Call for Arts/ Crafts people in Darwin

A photographic project by Tom Dinning

ÒOver the next 12 months I will be embarking on a project to record, in photographs, the work of artists and crafts people of the Top End. The aim of this project is to record the work of our artists and crafts people and highlight their work in a book, website and exhibition. The book will include a selection of these people, their work and life in the Top End. The website will be more comprehensive and will provide an ongoing resource for people wishing to view the quality work produced by our creative and skilled artists and crafts people. It is also hoped that an exhibition of the project can be held during 2011. I would foresee this as being an excellent opportunity for the art/craft community to share in the completed task. I am asking for the cooperation of people who would like to be included in this project. I would need a few hours of your time over the next 12 month to subject you to a photo shoot and interview. It is preferred that this takes place at the location where you work as the images I am seeking would illustrate how and where you work as well as the art/craft work you produce. Those people who are interested in participating can contact me on mobile 0417839582 or email christom.dinning@bigpond.com Ò W: www.tomdinningsphotography.com

CAL is going to be up in Darwin for the Aboriginal Art Fair from 12 to 14 August and during that time we will be holding free information sessions about the scheme. I am hoping that you might be able to help us spread the word about the sessions amongst your members.
