Local artists sought to exhibit at Shoalhaven Regional Gallery
Published on 30 September 2024
Artists with a strong connection to the Shoalhaven are being offered the opportunity to exhibit their work in the region’s local gallery in Nowra.
The Shoalhaven Regional Gallery is looking to build a cohort of talented artists whose creative works could be displayed as part of its 2025 exhibition program.
Gallery Director, Dr Zanny Begg, said an Expression of Interest application (EOI) was now open to all artists who have a bond or relationship with the Shoalhaven and want to showcase their resolved (ready to show) body of work to the community.
“We’re seeking proposals from individual artists, curators, collectives, and collaborations who want to make an engaging contribution to next year’s program,” Dr Begg said.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for talented people to gain exposure and share their artistic vision with the patrons of the gallery,” she said.
“Exhibitions are already scheduled for 2025 so we’re really keen to see plenty of applications to ensure both new and established artists are given a public platform in the Shoalhaven.”
Dr Begg encouraged First Nations artists to apply, with exhibitions coinciding with Sorry Day and NAIDOC Week in 2025. This exhibition will run alongside a solo exhibition by Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens.
The successful First Nations artist will receive a package including artist fees, an exhibition in the East Gallery, and support through publicity and audience engagement programs. For more details of the package follow the link to the application.
The EOI is a short application that is about the artist and the type of work they have ready to display. The form includes costs and conditions.
Applications close Sunday 27 October. For more information head to the Shoalhaven Regional Gallery website.
