With a legacy of over 20 years at Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre, the SHE exhibition (7 February – 31 March 2023) is back celebrating women artists. Challenging and exploring historical views of women, SHE of mind and body depicts body image, women’s empowerment, mental and emotional health. It reclaims traditional perceptions of textiles and celebrates art by and for women.
As part of the exhibition, we invite you to submit an original piece of writing of up to 500 words based on (and including) one of the titles used in previous SHE exhibitions (see below). Any style/genre of writing can be submitted.
Prizes
Open Category (all ages): $1,000 prize
Under 18 Category: $500 prize
Highly Commended: book prize
All entries selected will also be published in the SHE of mind and body exhibition catalogue.
