BURRINJA Cultural Centre is calling on creative-types of all ages and abilities to enter into this year’s ‘Upwey Archies’.
In partnership with the Upwey Township Group, Burrinja is inviting artists in the Yarra Ranges region to share an image of someone who is important to them or to the township of Upwey.
The initiative is inspired by the iconic Archibald Prize and aims to unite the creative voices and visions of the community.
Community clubs and groups, local schools, businesses, families and artists are encouraged to collect an art-board from Burrinja.
Entrants can use pencils, paints, collage and mixed media to be a part of the ‘Upwey Archies’.
Special mystery prizes will be awarded to stand-out portraits.
Art-boards can be collected from Burrinja between 1 and 10 September, while finished artworks need to be delivered between 1 and 8 October at Burrinja.
The exhibition will be displayed in the Upwey township between 14 October and 15 November.
Portraits can be collected from Burrinja between 16 and 19 November.
Cost is $10 including art-board, and $6 for under-14s.
