20.01.2022 PRESS RELEASE The 1770 Art Show is working hard to present another great show for 2021 and we promise that regardless of what happens in May 2021, the show will go on. From the 1770 Art Show perspective it was a devastating blow to have to cancel the 2020 show, but it has just encouraged the committee to strive to make 2021 a bigger and better show. One of the biggest changes will be that the show will now be held over the two halls, creating an arts precinct during the fest...ival period. The Quilters Exhibition will now be held at the Old Community Centre giving them the opportunity to present their wonderful creations without the need to consider the art show. The Art Show will now take over the new hall and with some new screens and more equipment we promise to have a spectacular display where all the art will have quality space. We are also pleased to announce increased prize money in three of our sections: First prize is now $5000, Second prize is now $1500 Quilters prize rises to $500. School Art Project SAP Back again for the 2021 Art Show will be school entries in the School Art Project. Eight local schools will again be invited to participate in this great exhibition. This year we return to the sculpture format with the theme of Outback. Important dates: Entry Forms will be available from December 2020. Forms will be available from most major art stores, galleries and supply stores in the region, also online at www.1770artshow.com.au where you can download an entry form and brochure or you can autofill your application. The organising committee is also pleased to announce that all major Sponsorships have also been confirmed for the 2021 Art Show.
