Closing date for interest in Ephemeral Art Trail extended
The closing date for expressions of interest for exhibiting in the Pearl Beach Arboretum Ephemeral Art Trail has been extended to 12 April 2021.
The Pearl Beach Arboretum Ephemeral Art Trail, promoted as PBeat, aims to create inspiring temporary public art that promotes nature conservation, supports community identity and increases the cultural vibrancy, according to Arboretum secretary Ms Mary Knaggs.
"Creating the unexpected is a key objective."
The Ephemeral Art Trail will take place over three weeks in June, opening on the June long weekend June 12 to 14 and closing at the end of the first week of the public school holidays on Sunday, July 4.
It is planned to have around 20 ephemeral artworks on display which are inspired by the Arboretum site.
There will be a $500 cash prize arising from "People's Choice" voting.
Artists are requested to submit expressions of interest using a form online or by post before midnight on April 12.
The form can be downloaded from the arboretum website or a copy can be requested by emailing PBeat@pearlbeacharboretum.org.au.
