Opens Thursday 8th July 6 – 8 pm
On display until Sunday 1st August
Our third Emerging Artist Awards exhibition for those that are still finding their 'art feet' with two fortunate artists coming away with an arts grant to help further their arts careers.
A panel of 3 respected judges will award two grants to fresh new talent in Waitakere City – one for $1000, including a plaque that the artist will hold for one year, and the other for $500.
This concept was developed to bring out our hidden (emerging) Waitakere talent – the ones that have had little or no exposure to the public - and assist them by guiding them through a number of processes they will need to understand as they emerge: applications for awards, competitions, funding – exhibiting – advertising – building databases of buyers, galleries etc.
The Emerging Artists Awards Grants have a mandatory ‘accountability process’ that the recipients will also be guided through. The grants must be spent to further artistic endeavor (not to catch up on unpaid fines etc :-)).
