Applications are now open for creative local artists living with a disability to submit their masterpieces for exhibition in the Connect, Collaborate, Celebrate Art Competition 2023.
Connect, Collaborate, Celebrate, now in its fifth year, provides a platform for artists living with disability to showcase their creative work including drawings, graphic art or paintings.
Willoughby City Mayor Tanya Taylor said she was looking forward to seeing a diverse range of local talent on exhibition at the Dougherty Centre.
“Connect, Collaborate, Celebrate never fails to shine a spotlight on some of the incredible artistic talent in our local community,” Mayor Taylor said.
“Whether you are a skilled drawer, have an eye for photography or take a passing interest in creative work, I encourage anyone with different abilities to take part in this amazing opportunity.”
Artists of all abilities are encouraged to submit their work consistent with one or more of the themes – Connect, Collaborate and Celebrate.
Artwork will be on exhibition at the Dougherty Community Centre, 7 Victor Street, Chatswood from 27 November to 15 December (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm).
