Stockyard Gallery canvases artists

THE Life Aquatic Small Canvas Exhibition and Competition will open on Friday, January 23 at Stockyard Gallery and canvases are now available at five venues.
Artists and hobbyists have until January to create their portrayal of the theme for 2015 – ‘impressions of coastal life in South Gippsland’.
An official Life Aquatic 2014 canvas will be supplied with the payment of the $15 entry fee for the open category and $5 for primary students.
Canvases are now available at Stockyard Gallery (open daily), Swanlee Art and Craft Leongatha (5662 3091), Yarram Bargain Centre (5182 6266), Morwell Art and Framing (5134 5515) and Gecko Studio Gallery, Fish Creek (5683 2481), which is open Thursday through to Monday.
The sky is the limit where creating is concerned, as long as the official 2015 (20cm x 20cm) framed canvases are used and the measurement of 20cm x 20 cm is not exceeded.
The depth is up to the artist, giving great flexibility as to whether the artwork is 2D or 3D.
There is no limit to the number of entries you can have; it could be a single entry, a diptych, a triptych, a tetraptych, a quadriptych, pentaptych, hexaptych, heptaptych or an octaptych.
The choice is yours, however canvases must not be joined together in any way.
Any medium and material can be used: paint, pencil, photography, mosaic, textiles, ceramic, metal, glass, you are only limited by your imagination.
Pick up an information leaflet at Stockyard Gallery and participating venues.
Lucrative prizes are on offer for the winning artworks in the categories of best in show ($800), second place 2D and 3D ($300 each) and peoples’ choice, $100 Stockyard Gallery gift voucher.
There will also be prizes for primary and secondary student entries.
The winning entries will be announced at a barbecue event on Saturday February 8 at 12 noon, where festivities will kick off with food, wine and music.
