The end of the year is approaching fast, and so is our final open call group show for 2024.
We are looking for small works, works that would make great Christmas presents! That’s all there is to the brief (it’s a brief brief). So if you think this sounds like something you can do, click on the link and read on. We are looking forward to having your work in the gallery.
We would like to do a shout out to these folk who are hitting their artistic balls out of the park (or some other appropriate sporting metaphor!)
Ro Murray,who has been selected for the 19th Arte Laguna Prize in Venice (go Ro!!!!).
Michelle Connolly and Mary Stack, who are both finalists in the National Emerging Artist Prize 2024 (on until 9 November at The Garden Gallery, Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney).
Dior Mahnken, who received the Honourable Roger Jaensch MP Runner-Up Award in the Paper on Skin competition (on until 16 November at the Devonport Regional Gallery).
You can also see work from these artists in shows here at Tiliqua Tiliqua. (Mary has work in the gallery right now! And Michelle has an exhibition opening here on 31 November.)
Congratulations Ro, Michelle, Mary and Dior! We are so proud of you all.
Do work in print media? We want to show your work!
Our annual Printmakers Show is coming up in August, and as usual this is an open exhibition. So read about the submission process and get your application in. The deadline is August 4, so don’t wait, act now!
We still have exhibition slots available for the second half of 2025, but they are filling fast! (Which obviously make us very happy.)
If you are thinking of holding an exhibition at Tiliqua Tiliqua, please read about the process here. You don’t have to pay a deposit until six months before your exhibition, so even if you aren’t sure now is the time to reserve a slot. We are also happy to put you on a waiting list, as people do pull out.
We are very happy to answer any questions you have, just give us a hoy!
Our fabulous, colourful, kinky exhibitions celebrating World Pride are coming to an end, but they are not leaving quietly! Join us in the gallery for a free event where artists Rae Boggs, Jeni Mulvey and Sage Blake Rivers discuss and explore their work.
*metaphorically speaking in this instance
Tiliqua Tiliqua is nearly two years old! We’re calling artists to help us celebrate with our Annual Exhibition. This year the theme is the colour Magenta, which should make for a very uplifting show.
This is an open call out, anyone can submit work. Just read the information, put your happy music on and make art!
(Info and submission forms are here.)
2023 was an extraordinary year of growth and learning for us here at Tiliqua Tiliqua. We would like to thank all the artists and art lovers who have made it such a fun and rewarding time.
But now it is 2024. As I write this we have thirty (30!!) exhibitions booked in, so get ready for some amazing art.
We kick off on the first of February with ‘Dark Alphabet’ from long-term gallery friend, Matthew da Silva. Then we welcome guest curator Sage Blake Rivers and two provocative shows to coincide with World Pride 2024. We are also very excited to announce that February will see the first of our Life Drawing in the Gallery sessions.
Stay tuned to hear more about all these events, and the 28 other offerings we have in store. See you soon!
There are three group exhibitions in the pipeline for Tiliqua Tiliqua. Submissions are now open for artists who want to take part.
First up is the Small Works Show 2023, our ‘last minute Xmas shopping’ exhibition. A chance for making some fun, accessible art!
We are working with artist and curator Sage Blake Rivers to create two exciting shows to celebrate World Pride 2024: ‘Part of Us’ and ‘Under the Rainbow, Together’.
All these shows are open to everyone who wants to take part, just have a good read of the information on the relevant pages. And contact us if you need any further help.
One of our favourite painters is back with a fabulous new series of some of the most extraordinarily affordable art you will ever see.
With ‘Abstracticus’ Nectarios is exploring (and playing with) the joy and meaning of colour. This is one of those shows where it is almost impossible to choose a favourite painting. Here are a few of mine, but why don’t you check out the show and see what you think!
After our brief break we’re back with a truly enchanting exhibition.
Andrew Ensor has been exploring castles as a visual motif for more than 20 years. This, his 37th(!) solo exhibition, is a retrospective bringing these delicate and dreamlike drawings together. His pieces, softly merging pen and paint, present a romanticised, yet fragile view of the world while exploring the aesthetics of entropy.
Drop by the gallery to experience these richly coloured worlds of surreal landscapes and architectural compositions, telling intricate stories of grandeur, fragility and timelessness.
