The newly minted Espionage Gallery in Adelaide has a fundraising gig opening up this week. Looks like a great idea – gallery owner and curator Joshua Smith purchased 50 uchiwa fans and sent them out to fifty Australian artists to decorate. The fans will be sold during the exhibition for a flat rate of $60 each, and all of the funds raised will be sent off to the Japanese Red Cross.

We love these kinds of shows – things like this, Get Trucked (that is being done by JAA, who are helping out with this show as well) and This Little Teapot are great themes for group shows, and its always great to see such a large and diverse range of artists putting the time in to help out charities such as these.

If you’re in Adelaide, get down there and support the show, and buy a fan from one of your favourite artists!
