The Gallery is asking the public to create images of WINTER to line the walls of the gallery. Whether you are an artist or not. This is your chance to illustrate, paint, sculpt, photograph, knit, write or otherwise represent winter for the show. Artwork can be done in any style from detailed to abstract as long as you identify the activity that you are illustrating. Here’s how to get involved – send an email to Parkside saying you’d like to take part and what medium you plan to use and your winter activity. Completed artwork can be dropped off from Tuesday, January 14th until Wednesday, January 29th. Artwork does not need to be framed and hanging will be quite casual; push pins will be employed for artwork on paper for instance, so if you value your work, make sure it is protectively frame and ready for hanging.
