Bushfire Relief Art Fundraiser
The response to the call out for artwork has been overwhelming and inspiring ♥️ it’s been beautiful to see the artistic community rally behind an event that has impacted us all. It’s hard in the face of such destruction to be disheartened and feel powerless, but doing something, even when it could feel insignificant, when done as a community is powerful in ways we can never predict.
Some of the artists involved in this project have been directly involved in the fires. Everyone has been effected at some level. Acting as a community we have already seen huge amounts of money raised but it’s going to take much more and everyone to get behind and support projects like these whenever we can. ✊
Thursday the 23rd of January is going to be the exhibition//silent art auction at Bar 303 along with music by
Sunbeams and rockets

Nova

All proceeds of the art sold will be going directly to victims of the bushfires.
The call out for artwork for the post card//zine packs deadline is January 10th and the deadline for submissions for the exhibition will be squeezing it in as late as I humanly can at the 22nd of January
