Melbourne Stencil Festival 2009

Call for Entries & Message to Artists

Now in its sixth year the Melbourne Stencil Festival is putting out the call to all artists who wish to submit artworks for the 2009 exhibition with the extended deadline of 31st July 2009.

Having recently undergone some organisational restructuring MSF Inc wishes to encourage all of the stencil art fraternity to become involved in this year’s festival.
As such we are endeavouring to provide as many opportunities as possible for artists to participate in a range of activities and events currently being planned as part of the festival program.

This year we will once again be based at the Yarra Sculpture Gallery in Abbottsford and hope to provide other events, workshops and exhibits in the Collingwood Underground just over the Hoddle Street footbridge from YSG.

If you are receiving this message please pass it on to your friends and networks and keep a close eye on the MSF website for more updates. Our intention is to also include participating artists in the planning of events during the festival especially those taking place in the Collingwood Underground.

A meeting will be called in early July to discuss the possibilities with artists and volunteers to develop a program which is dynamic, collaborative and egalitarian. If you and your colleagues whish to help shape the future possibilities of this festival and participate  with a passion then contact us and be put on our email list for up to date info.


BE THERE  -   BE IN IT  -  BE READY  -   ABOVE ALL   BE PASSIONATE!!!

Cheers for now,

Phil Hall
