Tickets On Sale For Trails Launch Event
Media Release, Wednesday, 03 February 2021
The TRAILS Sculpture Exhibition is an inaugural event for Portland, encouraging 3D artists to submit work for prizes totalling $10,000 and providing an Art Trail for locals and visitors to enjoy over a period of 5 weeks by visiting retail shop windows displaying the creations of the 40 finalists.
Artist talks and workshops by five local artists will also feature throughout the exhibition period.
Program Co-ordinator, Robyn McDonald, is encouraging people to go online and book their tickets. “This is a unique opportunity to showcase our local artists alongside regional and national talent, while the launch event will be a chance to celebrate art as integral to our mental health and wellbeing.” Ms McDonald said.
The event will commence at Julia St Creative Space from 2pm on Sunday March 28. Patrons will be provided with a trail map of exhibition locations and hosting venues, where food and drinks will be provided, in order to complete the circuit.
Ticket numbers are capped to ensure Covid safe practices are maintained at all venues and locations. The three-hour event will allow patrons time to move through the exhibition at their leisure and avoid queueing.
Applications to exhibit at the event are still open until Friday February 12 with further information available at the event website, https://thisisportland.com.au/trails-art
