Performing Artists- Click here for entry info
Performing Artists Dungog {PAD} has very kindly sponsored the Performing Arts section of The Tops exhibition. This means that for the first time, performing artists will also get a chance to showcase their talents and skills with a short- about 20 minutes- set at our Annual Exhibition. PAD has generously provided $200 so that three individuals or groups can be paid for their performances at the Exhibition opening. More information here.
About Our New Exhibitions…
The four exhibitions per year will feature Visual and Performing Arts and Crafts, and be open to all exhibitors of all ages- DAS members and non-members.
Each of these four, new-style exhibitions will run for THREE MONTHS, and each exhibition will have a theme.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, there will be prizes for the best work inspired by the theme, as well as prizes for various categories and age groups (Junior, Youth and Adult) within the three sections (Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Crafts).
Everyone- DAS members and non-members- are welcome to enter, attend the opening, and/or participate in the free, fortnightly ‘Gig in the Gog’ performing arts events, held at the DAS gallery.
While there will still be exhibition entry fees for art/craft works, artists/makers/artisans will pay NO COMMISSION on sales of works entered in the exhibitions.
There is a page with Frequently Asked Questions about the new-style exhibitions here.
