Earth & Community: A Living Canvas Exhibition
Second Call for Entries
Entries are now open for the Launceston Art Society's upcoming exhibition at Albert Hall, to be held from 20–25 June.
This year's second exhibition, Earth & Community: A Living Canvas, invites artists to reflect on themes of connection — to place, environment, community, memory, and shared human experience.
This is shaping up to be one of the most significant exhibitions in the Launceston Art Society's calendar and we have exciting plans for it to become an annual event. With the support of our wonderful sponsors and the calibre of work our members produce, we believe Earth & Community has the potential to grow into a flagship event for arts in Northern Tasmania. Don't miss your chance to be part of its inaugural year.
Inspired by Quaker values including Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Earthcare, members are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly and personally through any medium or style. Works may explore the natural world, sustainability, belonging, kindness, local identity, or the relationships that shape how we live together.
A new requirement for all entries: Each submitted artwork must include one of the six Quaker values: Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, or Earthcare somewhere in its title, to help convey how the work connects to the theme. For example, a landscape piece might be titled Earthcare: Morning on the Tamar, or an abstract work Simplicity in Blue.
Already submitted an entry? No problem, simply get in touch to advise us of the updated title for each of your works.
Prizes for this exhibition include:
-

We hope this exhibition will create a welcoming and thoughtful space that celebrates both creativity and community.
