We love seeing more stuff out in regional areas, and a paste up party sounds pretty cool. Is curated, but from what we hear there might be extra space of other paste up artists nearby – so if you want to put something up or check it out, head out to Bendigo this Sunday.
"This is it! The installation of the art prize offered to Bendigo artists through the recent A2D exhibition! This prize has been made possible through the sponsorship of Bendigo businesses Jools For Jim, Red Door Boutique and El Gordo Cafe & Art Space.
Six local artists have had their work from the A2D exhibition invited to be a part of a paste up mural, along the wall in front of El Gordo in Chancery Lane*.
(*Please note that due to limited space available, the work going up in this area on Nov 12 is curated and by invitation only. Do get in contact with Megan if you would like your work to also be considered – and, the Council-owned wall at the southern end of Chancery Lane is another option to make the event even bigger on the day, as it is open for artists to paste up work any time. Lots of space!)
Dale Harris, Kara Rice, Pat Thompson, Reece Hendy, Alice Fraser & Chris Kennett. Two other local artists – Rhayven Jane, Kelly Robson & Rick Whateley – have also offered to contribute works to the mural on the day, which has been accepted.
The prize is part of the current ‘progressive’ street art paste up project ‘Ground Level’, which has been occurring throughout 2011 in Chancery Lane, supported by local businesses, Bendigo Council & Latrobe Uni.
The winning artworks will be installed at 1pm, Saturday November 12, by the artists. You are invited to come along and be a part of the event!"
