Freedom "People's Choice" Exhibition January 2012

Calling all artists to submit artwork for the Freedom "People's Choice" Exhibition January 2012.

TAP Gallery, one of Sydney's most innovative galleries and Amnesty International Australia, the world's largest human right organization have teamed up for the 16th year running to present the FREEDOM exhibition. The exhibition will be on display from 17-30 January 2012. The official function and presentations on SATURDAY 21st January from 5-8pm will feature live music, high profile speakers, celebrity judges and light refreshments. Each year 100's of guest have enjoyed this festive atmosphere.
Two main awards will be presented on the day: The people's choice award selected by the public attending the function, and the critics' choice selected by a panel of critics, artists and community representatives with up to $1000 in prizes.
The event will aim to increase awareness about Amnesty International's work in human rights protection and encourage support and donations. It will also provide a platform for emerging artists to exhibit their work.
It will be open to all artists and all mediums. The focus of the exhibition will be the artists' interpretation of what freedom means to them (or the lack of Freedom). Applications will be available from TAP Gallery up until the 17th of January, the deadline for works to be delivered. The success of the past 15 "Freedom" exhibitions with crowds of up to 5000 throughout the duration of the exhibition and attracted over 180 entries. We expect the growing profile of this event to draw even greater support from the arts community this year. Both TAP Gallery and Amnesty International are excited about this event and we invite you to join us in the promotion of the "FREEDOM" People's Choice to the community in 2012.
