Call for artists: PAINT IT LIVE
22/02/2016
Calling all painters, street artists, graphic artists, paste-up artists, designers, and mural artists – WE WANT YOU.
Do you have a project that you have had bubbling away in your mind, but don’t have a space to do it?
Have you been wanting to experiment outside of the studio? Are you looking at legal walls to work on?
As a way of revitalising the Townsville CBD, and activating the carpark space at Umbrella, we want to invite you to participate in PAINT IT LIVE, a live art event which will coincide with our regular gallery programming.
There are six wall panels that make up the carpark wall. Panels will be allocated to artists, who will produce an artwork prior to and during the evening of two gallery opening launch events.
Artists participating need to be or become a member of Umbrella Studio and supply their own consumable materials.
