CAPTURING MOMENTS IN TIME - Art Competition/Exhibition - Mount Perry Arts

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
ENTER TO WIN!

BRINGING ARTS TO THE FORE

The Mount Perry Arts Group Inc is putting out the call for artists to enter a large-scale Art Competition & Exhibition, to be held later this year.

Offering category prizes of up to $1000 for 11 classifications of work, the entered art pieces will go on display on October 11th and 12th in Mount Perry, with judging to be held and winners announced at the opening on Friday night.

The town is set to be bustling that weekend, as it is also the time for the Annual Car and Bike Show, as well as the Axemen and Sawyers Woodchop event, both to be held this year on Saturday 12th October. The Art Show will straddle two venues – with the Entrant works going on display in the Community Hall in Mount Perry, while an exhibition of works by the three judges opens in the adjacent Gallery and will run for 6 weeks.

Entitled “Capturing Moments in Time” entries are open in these categories: PORTRAIT OF A LOCAL IDENTITY and OPEN sections, (each with a $1000 1st prize); LOCAL ARTIST section; MINIATURES; INSTALLATIONS; MIXED MEDIUM; AGES 5 TO 9; AGES 10 to 14; AGES 15 to 18; PHOTOGRAPHY and ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD.

The show promises to be a great stimulus for creativity in the local region and beyond, as entries are open to all. The Local Artist section is exclusively for entrants in the North Burnett Region and carries a $500 first prize. As the long-standing efforts of many individuals in communities are valued, especially in regional areas, the Portrait section seeks to immortalise local identities from the North Burnett and capture their painted images for posterity.

Described as “a boon for regional art” the show will encourage the creativity of both established and budding artists, across its wide range of categories.

The judging panel of three comprises renowned artists Colleen Helmore and Sue Robinson who each have an internationally recognised status in the art world, together with the accomplished Holly Milner from the Sunshine Coast, who will be mentored in the specifics of judging by the two, more experienced artists.

Event Co-ordinator June McCotter from the Mount Perry Gallery said the event is already receiving much active interest from galleries, and particularly portrait artists, around the wider area, and that this is ultimately culturally beneficial to the North Burnett region. She expressed the thanks of the Arts Group to the competition sponsors, who are providing a total prize pool of $4,480 across 11 categories.

Entry forms will be distributed more widely in the coming days and are available now through the Mount Perry Arts Group Inc. by contacting the June on 0477 194 605
