A fundraising breakfast has opened a platform for men across the region to express themselves in art, with the theme of celebrating positive role models.
Shed Happens Mackay, sponsored by DGH Engineering, celebrated International Men’s Day (IMD) last year (IMD21) with a fundraising breakfast. This year, as part of the IMD22 celebrations, Shed Happens have facilitated an Art Show in partnership with the Mackay Art Society, and entries close on August 1.
The first pillar of IMD is ‘Celebrating positive male role models’, and this is the theme for artists to create their works.
Shed Happens convenor Frank Cowell said, “We are calling on any local and emerging artists to submit their entries for this exciting art show.
“The entry form can be found at the SHED Happens Mackay Facebook Page, and there is an entry fee of $10.00 per artwork submitted, with a limit of two pieces per person.”
There are four sections, each with prize money for the winners, with second and third prizes in three of the sections.
The artworks will be on display during August at the Mackay Art Society, Snow Wright Court, Beaconsfield, and the finalists works will be displayed at the Mackay Botanic Gardens Lagoons Café Gallery throughout September.
