It's time to think about your work to submit for the Lloyd Rees Memorial Youth Art Awards. You've got just under 3 months as applications are due 1st August 2013.The theme is open to what ever subject you would like to paint, draw or print.

WHAT'S NEW

Gallery Lane Cove are now offering a solo exhibition to the winning entrant along with the $5,000 cash prize. Also a first for this year, the exhibition will be held in the new, architect designed gallery space, in the centre of Lane Cove.

You can also sell your work at the exhibition (if you do not win the Aquisitive Prize that is) or if you prefer not to you can always put not for sale. We suggest that those not wanting to sell their work write not for sale, rather than having an inflated price. 

It's really important to think about hanging and leaving enough time to either get your work framed (you will need to have large d-rings placed on the back of the work) or place strong and large d-rings on your canvases. We can not hang them from the frame as this not only can damage your work and important if you want to sell, but the new hanging system can only hang from d-rings. 

With over 60 entrants last year, there is a great opportunity to not only have your work shown and exhibited to an enthusiastic audience, but there are the prizes too. With over $7000 provided by the Lane Cove Council, The Lane Cove Art Society and Centrehouse Community Art Centre, this could really help you continue your art practice and development.
