PRIMROSE PARK ART & CRAFT CENTRE INC - PPACCI
Sydney Craft Week exhibition: "News, News, News"
News is everywhere, delivered at speed to our phones, televisions, computers, homes and workplaces. News hits our emotions, informs us, poses questions and makes us think. Whether we dive in or seek to ignore it, it is hard to escape.
Artists from each of our groups explore the ‘News’ theme in many mediums, across paper, basketry, textiles, calligraphy, photography and painting.
PPACCI are awarding a 'People's Choice' award for the exhibition, as voted by those attending in person (terms and conditions here).
Exhibition opening night Friday 4 October, 6pm.
Exhibition open 11 October – Sunday 20 October, weekdays 10am – 2pm, weekends 10am – 4pm.
Primrose Park Art & Craft Centre, Matora Lane, Cremorne.
