Excitement is in the air at Rise's Arts Hub in Warwick, where a talented group of artists are busy crafting masterpieces for the upcoming As We Are Art Awards.
The As We Are Art Awards hold a special place as WA’s exclusive art award and exhibition for artists with intellectual disability. This year, Rise is proud to sponsor the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Award - and we couldn't be more excited to see everyone's entries!
At our very own Arts Hub, artists have been felting, painting, stitching and creating their masterpieces in preparation. In the image above, we have (L-R, Clockwise):
Erica – “Tree in the Forrest”
Helen – “Lovely Spring Day”
John – “Kimberley Waterfall”
Denise – “Mosaics”
Greg – “Great Ocean Reef”
The awards night is on Thursday, 19th October from 5pm to 7pm at the Wilkinson Gallery, Claremont Showgrounds. The exhibition will then be running 9am-2pm, Friday 20th October to Sunday 22nd October 2023. Find out all about it on the As We Are website.
Best of luck everyone – we're cheering for you!
