Items selected must be suitable for international travel (eg no food, soil, broken glass, liquid, sharp edges, explosives etc.) and something that will last for at least 30 years!
We will also be screening works featuring photos we have taken during our travels to Melbourne over the past year and of our recent journeys to other national/international destinations.
If you are in Melbourne please pop by anytime throughout the afternoon, it would be great to see you - friends are welcome too.
If you have any questions, please phone 0419 388 108

Putting Sydney ARIs on the Map..starting now -12-24 March
GAFFA GALLERY, 7 Randle St, Surry Hills 2010
Mon-Fri 12pm-6pm Sat 11am-6pm
Artist-run initiatives (ARIs) are incubators for emerging artists and the art stars of the near future. Run by visual artists, curators and writers, ARIs range from galleries, art spaces and residencies to publications and temporary events. No matter what form they take, ARIs support the work of local and international contemporary artists, taking you directly to the source of the city’s most cutting-edge artistic output. Over 2009 we will be creating projects bringing focus to these ARIs which includes creating a map and guide to 26 Sydney ARIs - the map will be available from featured ARIs and Avant Card distribution points, as well as online.
