EXHIBITION PROPOSAL
Tamworth Regional Gallery presents our community with a combination of touring, partnership and locally developed exhibitions, and the renowned Tamworth Textile Triennial. These exhibitions cover a range of visual arts practices, including painting, design, crafts, sculpture and textiles. The annual exhibition program delivers individual exhibitions that demonstrate careful decision-making processes to ensure that the best ‘exhibition mix’ is delivered, targeting all elements of our community, including minority groups, and providing opportunities for audience development.
The annual exhibition mix includes:
- 1 – 2 x textile-based exhibitions
- 1 – 2 x Gallery collection-based exhibitions
- 1 – 2 x blockbuster exhibitions
- 1 – 2 x Aboriginal community exhibitions
- 1 – 2 x CALD community exhibitions
- 1 – 2 x People with a disability exhibitions
- 1 – 2 x Students and/or young people exhibitions
- 5 – 6 x regional artist represented exhibitions
Regional artists are represented in many exhibitions, and their support and mentorship are a primary focus of the Gallery. Furthermore, the relationship between art and craft is a major strength of Tamworth Regional Gallery and we also focus on exhibiting exhibitions with a textile focus, which aligns with our National Textile Collection priorities.
Touring exhibitions and artworks loaned from major state and national institutions ensure that we provide essential access to works of significance for our region. Through working in partnership with both state and national institutions, we are able to provide essential access in regional New South Wales to works by renowned national – and sometimes international – artists.
With a focus on maintaining our commitment to growing and developing regional creative talent, the Tamworth Regional Gallery accepts exhibition projects and proposals which reflect our key values of equity, access, authenticity, collaboration and courage.
