Opportunity to Exhibit in Spain
My brother Damian who lives in Spain in a small town close to Madrid called Albalate de Zorita just told me the City Council is organizing an International Art Exhibition that will include paintings and sculptures. The exhibition will take place from 28 June – 31 August and they have invited me to exhibit a couple of pieces.
The exhibition will include participants from other European countries and the organizers are also very interested in having other sculptors from Australia included.
All sculptures will be for sale and the Spanish Government has now exempted all art from paying GST in Spain.
If you think of anyone who would be interested in sending a piece or two for the exhibition please let me know. Below the link:

Sculptors will have to pay their own transport and insurance costs though.
Let me know if you have any further questions, I can forward you the details of the organizers if anyone is interested.
