Call for Participation: The Overwintering Project

by Leave a Comment

The Overwintering Project is an environmental art project inviting artists from Australia and New Zealand to visit, research, and respond to the unique nature of their local migratory shorebird habitat. Australia and New Zealand have over 100 internationally important shorebird overwintering sites. These sites are not interchangeable: each possesses a unique combination of physical and biological features that makes it the perfect sanctuary for migratory shorebirds to return to year after year. 

Printmakers are invited to submit a print to the Overwintering Print Portfolio. Galleries, artists, print workshops and groups, councils, schools, BirdLife groups, NPWS services or any other group with an interest in raising awareness of their local shorebirds and shorebird habitat are invited to participate in the Overwintering Project by organising an Independent Overwintering Project Exhibition or Event.

​If you would like to plan an Overwintering Project exhibition or event, please first contact the Project Co-ordinator Kate Gorringe-Smith (overwinteringproject@gmail.com).

About the award

An artist’s book is a medium of artistic expression that uses the form or function of a ‘book’ as inspiration.

Every two years the Northern Beaches Library Service holds an Artists’ Book Award attracting entries from around the world. Books are selected from the entries to form an exhibition. From the exhibited books, judges then select books to be acquired and added to the 100 plus artist books the Northern Beaches Library Service holds in their collection. This collection is unique to our community and public library service.

Acquired Artists’ Books on display

A rotated selection of our artists’ book collection is on display at Manly Library. Click here for more info.

The winning work will enter the National Art School’s significant collection, built over the past 120 years.

The Dobell Drawing Prize attracts entries from acclaimed artists around the country and explores the enduring importance of drawing within contemporary art practice, in its many different forms and materials. There are no limitations on medium for the Prize – as well as works on paper, entries that present drawing in alternative formats are invited.
