The Webs We Weave is the theme of this year’s City of Whittlesea’s Annual Art Exhibition

The theme encourages artists to use webs as a metaphor to delve into the connections that shape our lives and communities.

Council’s chair administrator Lydia Wilson said the City of Whittlesea was committed to nurturing artistic talent through the annual exhibition.

“We are proud to support artists with this annual exhibition. The Webs We Weave theme offers possibilities for artistic exploration, fostering creativity and self-expression. We hope the exhibition will create conversations in our community,” she said.

Artists are encouraged to draw inspiration from various sources of connections, ranging from physical spider webs to social networks and emotional ties. Diverse mediums are welcomed including painting, sculpture, literatures, new media, and digital art.

To participate in the Annual Art Exhibition, artists are invited to submit an application by 5 pm on Monday, September 18. Artists of all ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply with their chosen works.

Selected artworks will be showcased in The Great Hall, Civic Centre Office, 25 Ferres Boulevard, South Morang, from Friday, November 17 until Friday, December 15. Successful applicants will be notified on Monday, October 2. Details: www.arts.whittlesea.vic.gov.au.
