The 2024 Art Exhibition

There will be a few changes to this year’s art exhibition while many elements will remain the same.

The first change is with the prizes, there will be a People’s Choice Prize for each participating gallery.

Art Exhibition Theme Constancy

The themes will remain the same, as it is always about celebrating this fabulously inspiring state.

Vibrant Communities – ideal for representing the people, communities, farms, business, shacks and villages, towns and cities of Tasmania.

Waters of Life – taking inspiration from the beautiful Tasmanian waterways and coastlines, flora and fauna, activities such as fishing and paddling.

Wildlife Wonders – celebrating the diverse and captivating wildlife, the flora and fauna, of Tasmania.

Mountain Inspirations – showcasing the magnificence of the ever present Tasmanian mountains and highlands, this can also include the flora and fauna.

Member and Non-Member Entry Pricing

There will also be the return of the entry pricing for members and non-members.

As always, all participating artists will be promoted equally. What is key is sending me the correct details of your social media profiles so I can tag you. I can only work off the information I am provided (so no change here).

Continuing The Big Focus On Promoting Participating Artists

For all of the artists who have exhibited previously in an Art Trails Tasmania Art Exhibition, you know how seriously I take the responsibility of strongly promoting the artists who get involved.

I believe it is crucial to tag the artist’s Instagram and Facebook profile pages in posts that showcase their entered works (and to be frank, I don’t really understand why this isn’t done more by other art exhibition organisers, yes it takes a chunk of work but that is what your entry fee is for).

So this dedication to backing the artists who are backing this exhibition will be happening all over again this year.

Art Exhibition Dates

Something that I am quite excited about with working with the different galleries is being flexible with the dates of the exhibition.

Poatina Arts and the Poatina Tree Art Gallery are wanting a four week time frame. So the exhibition there will run from Friday 25th October through to Sunday 25th November 2024.

Whereas a smaller gallery that I am talking with (and have agreed for a confirmation in April) is wanting 10 days during this period.

While I easily understand that many folk prefer consistency across these things, the goal with Art Trails Tasmania has always been about supporting, enabling and backing the arts community in the ways that each needs it.

So if a smaller gallery owner feels that a 10 day period is what they need and a more off the track gallery has learnt that they need a four week run, then I am happy to explore this.

I’m feeling that I have learnt enough from the last four years to be able to make this happen easily enough. I hope you are happy to explore this with me too.

The key elements I want to make sure are simple are the close of entry dates and that each artist knows which location their work will be exhibited at.

Call Out for Sponsors

I am delighted to annouce that the  sponsors who have been with us from the start for the Art Trails Tasmania Art Exhibition are backing us again this year!

So a big thank you to Art as Mania and The Empire Hotel Deloraine!

Do you know any sponsors that we should be connecting with?

If you do, please let me know.

I’m putting together a more formal sponsorship package for this year so stay tuned for that.

Art Exhibitions Are More Than Selling A Piece of Work

As any regularly exhibiting artist knows, exhibiting in exhibitions is way more than selling an individual piece of work.

Being part of art exhibitions is a great way to grow your artist profile, make valuable connections, be seen by existing and potential buyers, create valuable blog and social media content and much more.

Here are the latest stories on how to make the most of your involvement in any art exhibition.
