CALLING FOR ENTRIES

Two new group shows curated by curatorial interns at BSG this year: Folk Art/Fine Art curated by Pan Gong will be an exhibition of contemporary interpretations of traditional asian folk art. Fresh Forms, curated by Jack Willet will revolve around the idea that the simple, fluid forms within works of art - whether brush strokes, ink lines, or movement within the captured image - embody the essence of the artist. All mediums are welcome. For more information or to appy email info@bsgart.com.au

CALLING FOR VOLUNTEERS

If you would like to gain experience working in a gallery installing exhibitions, dealing with clients, organising shows and a have a few hours to spare each week contact tessa@bsgart.com.au

JOINT SHOWS

We recognise that it is difficult for many artists to afford putting on their own show so we are inviting artists who are interested in showing with one, two or three others to email samples of your work to mark@bsgart.com.au and we will pair you up with other appropriate artists to have a joint show. In this way you can have a show of your work for as little as $225 including invites, advertising and opening night expenses.

FREE VIDEO SPACE

We are now accepting applications for our video space for 2011. The space is free. Send your work or a weblink to your work to apply.
