Exhibitions and Opportunities

At this stage it is difficult to know which exhibitions are going ahead and which not... Best to watch Art Almanac and the various websites. However here are some interesting items that have come to hand.

Call for Submissions are now open for the 24th annual exhibition Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi staged along the coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama from 22 October - 8 November 2020. Enter online by Sunday 17 May, 11.59pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. 

Please be aware that the application deadline is three weeks away and paper copy applications by post or hand delivered are not being accepted this year.
