We are calling for artworks for a member show to kick off the DVA gallery exhibition program in 2020!
Climate Change is on the tip of everyone’s tongue from politicians, farmers to climate scientists and young people. Opinions differ but everyone has one. The City of Darwin has declared a climate emergency, and this is a fantastic opportunity for the community to reflect on social, political and environmental elements of this international phenomena.
The exhibition will be judged by a panel of local arts industry members with 10 works selected by a panel of judges to feature in the City of Darwin Lightboxes across the city. The judges will select high quality works befitting the theme from a breadth of emerging and established artists.
