Gunnedah called on to share creativity for International Women’s Day

January 20, 2021

Gunnedah Shire Council will celebrate International Women’s Day 2021 with our biennial exhibition at The Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery.

Council’s Cultural Precinct Team Leader Lauren Mackley said the theme for International Women’s Day 2021 was #Choose to Challenge.

“We encourage artists, creative collectives, hobbyists, community organisations and schools to participate in a celebration of women in our lives and in our community,” Ms Mackley said.

“We are encouraging women to celebrate their own achievements through creativity.

“Gunnedah Shire has a wealth of talent and a vibrant community of women who create unique artworks, from art on canvas to metalwork, jewellery, pottery and a whole lot more. Why not #Choose to Challenge yourself to enter something in this celebratory exhibition.”

Artwork submissions close at 5pm on Monday, March 8 with all artwork to be dropped at The Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery with an attached and completed entry form.

The entry form is available at https://www.thecivic.com.au/art--exhibitions

The official exhibition opening will be held at 1pm Friday, March 12 with light refreshments provided. We ask all of the community to come along and celebrate! Please prebook your ticket through a link which will soon be available on the www.thecivic.com.au website.

The exhibition will continue until 3pm, Sunday, April 11.
