Rosny Farm Arts Centre Exhibitions Program Call Out 2022

⁠⁠⁠Clarence City Council is calling for applications from those wishing to participate in its 2022 exhibitions program at the Rosny Farm Arts Centre. Clarence City Council aims to present a diverse program that offers a balance of emerging and established artists as well as a diversity of age, background, gender, culture and ability. Practitioners in any field of creative endeavour are eligible to apply, including (but not limited to) visual arts, design, new media, craft, and fashion.

Clarence City Council accepts applications from local, interstate and overseas artists, curators, arts collectives, and organisations.
Applications to exhibit can be for solo shows or curated group shows. (Note: A limited number of solo shows are programmed each year).

The curatorial committee prefers applications based on new work or substantially reworked exhibitions.
