The Harrison Art Show is back on the calendar for the third successful year and will be held at Harrison Performing Arts Theatre Studio at Harrison School during June 27-29.
Harrison Art Show Coordinator Christina Saladino said this year is already stepping up to be the biggest show yet, with three great prizes up for grabs, which is open to all artists over the age of 16.
“We doubled the amount of people who walked in last year compared to the year before and we had many first time exhibitors successfully sell their art,” she said. “These types of events are important as it is a way of bringing different parts of the community together to celebrate art and creativity.”
“This year we have already increased the amount of interest from sponsors and artists and we’re only going to get bigger in coming years.” All entries are eligible for the following 3 prizes:
- $500 The Marketplace Art Prize
- $350 People’s Choice Credit Union – 2014 People’s Choice Art Prize
- $250 My Gungahlin 2014 Themed Art Prize –“ Gungahlin History”
My Gungahlin owner Mark Scarborough said he was impressed by the passion of the organisers of the Art Show and wanted to show his support by being part of it.
“The Harrison Art Show is a unique community event here in Gungahlin,” he said.
“My Gungahlin is advertising the event as a featured event, through our web site, social media and e-newsletter and sponsoring one of the prizes.
Submissions for the Harrison Art Show close on June 20 and need to be delivered to the Performing Arts Theatre Studio at Harrison School on June 24, where Artist Kylie Fogarty & Carol Osmotherly will then begin their curating roles for the Show.
Opening night for the show will be on Friday, June 27 from 7.30pm with tickets costing $10 at the door. Guests will be able to enjoy some refreshments while listening to some great music while enjoying the wonderful art on display.
