MELBOURNE & SYDNEY STENCIL FESTIVAL 06

The preparations and planing for this years Stencil Festival are in
full swing. This year we will not only celebrate stencil art in
Melbourne but for the first time also stage a Stencil Festival in
Sydney!

In Melbourne the festival has moved from North Melbourne to the vibrant
cultural hub of Fitzroy and will be held at the Rose St. Artist Market
(60 Rose St.) for five days from Thursday 18 to Monday 22 May 2006.
In Sydney the Pine Street Creative Arts Centre (64 Pine St.) in the
inner city suburb of Chippendale will host the first Sydney Stencil
Festival from Thursday 1 to Monday 5 June 2006.

We are calling now for applications of artists who wish to participate
in this years festivals. Please find attached the application form or

Please feel free to forward the application form to your friends,
colleagues and contacts (best you forward this entire mail).


Additionally we will hold the new ‘Young Artists Award’ this year. The
award is open for everyone who does not consider him-/herself as a
professional artist and has not been in the ‘art business’ for more
than five years. There is no age limit.
We are still working on the terms and conditions for the award and
couldn’t allocate the prices yet, but there will be a 1. and 2. jury
price plus a audience price. Details will follow soon.

Here are a few confirmed facts for those who consider submitting art
into the ‘Young Artist Award’ and would like to start working on their
piece: – Subject of competition: censorship
(the interpretation of the competitions subject is all up to you) – Artworks can be no larger than 60×60 cm
(larger works will be disqualified and not presented in the festivals) – All works will be for sale and will be subject to 30% commission

Like in the previous years the Stencil Festival will not only present
more exciting art than you can shake a stick at, but also attract a
diverse audience with special events like opening party, book launch,
workshops and live demonstrations, film night, charity auction etc
