Artist: Metka Skrobar

Official Opening Sat 18 Feb 2012, 11:30am

Make this your pre-race event, with champagne, nibbles and great art!

18 February - 10 April

In her journeys to the outback regions of Australia, as an artist and tutor, Metka has been captivated by the vastness of the landscape and the resilience of the people who live there.  Using acrylics, collage and mixed media, Metka captures the essence of this seemingly harsh, dry environment with its endless horizons and vast vaulted skies which at times seem poetically dramatic and other times dry and sere.

An Invitation to Participate!

Dogwood Crossing, Miles invites artists residing in the Western Downs Council Region to participate in the 2012 Regional Artists exhibition in the John Mullins Memorial Gallery.  This year the exhibition title will be Patterns in Nature.

Exhibition Brief

Patterns lie at the heart of nature on every level both visible and invisible.  As human beings we feel compelled to find patterns in the world around us.  Capturing these patterns and bringing them to our attention offers a wealth of artistic possibilities. Artists are invited to explore the world of patterns through a variety of media such as painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, and textiles.

Exhibition Requirements

• entrants must reside in the Western Downs Regional Council area or be a member of the Miles & District Art Group
• entries must fulfill the requirements of the theme

Unfortunately our funding submission for the exhibition curating, workshops, and a professionally developed colour catalogue was not successful.  A curator, however, will still be engaged to select works for the exhibition and their decisions are, of course, final.  An exhibition Entry Form and an Artwork Information Statement will need to be completed and submitted.  You can click on these links and print out as many as required.  Each entry must have an Artwork Information Statement attached.  You may submit as many warks as you like in any medium; however, a maximum of four (4) works from each artist will be selected.

Please arrange for your entries to be delivered to Dogwood Crossing, Miles, no later than Wednesday 30 May 2012.  Entrants will be notified of works selected prior to the opening night Friday 8 June 2012.  The exhibition will continue until Tuesday 28 August 2012.
