Boroondara Arts Encouragement Award at Camberwell Art Show
The Boroondara Arts Encouragement Award is awarded annually to an exhibitor at the Camberwell Art Show and recognises excellence in contemporary visual art. The award celebrates and promotes local artists by providing a unique opportunity to exhibit works in the foyer of the Hawthorn Arts Centre.
Applications close on 11 June 2018.
Community Project Wall
The Community Project Wall is located within Hawthorn Arts Centre in the side foyer of the Town Hall Gallery. Spanning close to 30 metres, this is a free exhibition space available to local community groups, local and emerging artists and schools to exhibit a series of two-dimensional works to a wide audience.
Exhibitions are selected through an annual application call-out. Each exhibition lasts approximately 1 month and there are 12 exhibitions per year.
Applications for 2019 are now open. Applications close on 29 June 2018.
