d’Urban d’Art Exchange
and
the artSPACE durban Artists’ Choice Award
Dear
Artists of Durban and Surrounds,
Join us at artSPACE durban in this completely new
and exciting experience. This is an
artist-orientated event; we will have fun and pay tribute to ourselves as
artists. With most awards, the decision
is made by a panel of judges and often strangely influenced and rather
baffling.
With our Artists’ Choice Award, only the
participating artists have a vote for the winning three artists. We believe this gives a respectful ear to you,
our artists, so your voice and choice can be heard. The prizes on offer: 1st prize R5,000,
2nd prize R2,000, and 3rd prize R1,500.
Here is how it works. The fun part is the d’Urban d’Art Exchange. Each participating artist will collect an
entry form and a 50x35cm canvas (1 per person) from the gallery; the entry fee
is R200. Other media are welcome, and
are required to fit into the size criteria; entry fee will be less the canvas
cost of R50. Each artist on entering
agrees to a) take part in the draw that will see each artist take home one
piece of work by another participating artist (you may draw the winning
piece!). During the course of the week participating artists will vote for the
top three works on show. We want all artists to sign
their works, but then have the signatures covered.
The show will open at artSPACE durban on Monday 30th
July; it is only up for one week, so artists need to look carefully, and cast
their vote by Thursday 2nd August.
The draw and award event is on Friday 3rd August. All artists
must be present to make their draw and collect their new work; and the three prizewinners
must be present to receive their
awards. No artist, no award! But
remember: each participant will win/receive another artist's work (could be the
winner, a known or unknown artist)!
At
artSPACE durban we (the participating artists, that is) will thus vote and
crown the artSPACE durban Artists’ Choice Award of 2012.
There
will be a cash bar and car guards at the opening.
