New Condensery exhibition calls for Somerset artists

Somerset Regional Council’s art gallery, The Condensery, is establishing a biennial environment exhibition and are seeking expressions of interest from Somerset artists.

Expressions of interest are open until 5pm, Wednesday, 3 April 2024. The first exhibition will run from February 2025 to April 2025.

The exhibition will occur every two years and will be devoted to themes of the environment and evocation of place.

The exhibitions will provide an opportunity for Somerset artists to exhibit at The Condensery and participate in an arts mentorship program, a series of studio visits and curatorial discussions with the exhibition curator.

From this program, the selected artists, will make and present new work for the exhibition alongside esteemed artists from across Australia.

Interested artists should contact The Condensery on 5423 1036 or email thecondensery@somerset.qld.gov.au for more details.

This project was made possible by the Australian Government’s regional arts fund, provided through Regional Arts Australia, administered in Queensland by Flying Arts Alliance, in addition to the disaster recovery funding arrangements jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland governments.
