2016 Advocate Art Award – Call for Entries

Can you believe how quickly it’s come around again? … We are calling for entries for the 2016 Advocate Art Award held again at Araluen Art Centre.

Membership of our society isn’t necessary but we wish to make it attractive for you to take an annual membership:  a lower entry fee and particularly a lower commission on sale of your work. We need you to succeed and achieve a sale! It works for us both and offsets considerable expenses that we incur. All entries must be for sale, however listing a selling  price way above market value in order to avoid a sale is discouraged. Please respect our situation. The other Entry Rules are  described at the application page (read down)
