We have had another hugely successful exhibition thanks to the efforts and energy of some creative Tasmanians, transforming discarded materials into an array of amazing artworks. See some of the artworks in our 2011 gallery. There were over 150 artworks, from over 100 different artists and school students entered this year, our biggest exhibition yet. Congratulations to everyone involved!
This year we had over 4,500 visitors to the exhibition, including over 600 students from many different schools. We were featured in the Mercury on Friday 6th May, as well as a terrific review by Clyde Selby in the Saturday 21st May Mercury magazine. We were also shown on a segment on Southern Cross news on Saturday 7th May at 6pm.
This year the Trash Rat Youth Award was won by Dominic College Year 7 students, for It only takes one person to make a difference, and the Highly Commended going to Morgan Furst of Cottage School, for Time Travel. The Mojo Wearable Art Award went to Gabbee Stolp for Untitled (brooch).
The AFT2011 People’s Choice Award was won by Simon Pankhurst for George – I found him in my rainwater tank. Simon will feature on the AFT2012 promotional material including the entry form, poster, postcards, invites and web images.
Thank you very much for everyone involved in the annual Art From Trash community exhibition this year and we hope to see you in our next exhibition, which will be in May 2012.
