Deadly Fringe Visual Arts Commissions
Melbourne Fringe are looking for two First Nations artists who will each deliver a new and original visual art exhibition within one of Melbourne’s independent galleries as part of the 2020 Melbourne Fringe Festival.
What are we looking for?
The first exhibition commission is open to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander visual artists working in any medium, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography or 3D works, or a mix of these if that’s the way you work. The sky’s the limit.
The second visual arts commission is open for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander artists working primarily in digital media, including film and video art. You may also present some live or event-based programming alongside the digital exhibition, if you like! Tech support for this exhibition includes access to a projector, multiple television monitors and additional equipment to support your exhibition delivery.
The two selected emerging artists will each receive:
A $2,000 artist fee, inclusive of any material costs (excluding GST)
In-kind support to cover gallery hire, exhibition staffing, an opening event and other curatorial and technical support
A bespoke one-on-one mentorship program
Personalised support throughout the whole process from the Deadly Fringe team including blak only yarning circles and cultural support.
Applications close on 18th May 2020
