Wide Open 2022 - Artist Callout

Narrandera Arts & Creative Network (NACNet) invites artists and curators to submit proposals for solo or group exhibitions at the Narrandera Arts & Community Centre (NACC) during 2022.

A unique opportunity has arisen due to the temporary relocation of the Narrandera Visitor Information service into the carpeted room of the NACC. Narrandera Shire Council is allowing NACNet free use of the larger room to support a series of exhibitions or residencies during 2022. Narrandera Community Bank is the major sponsor so NACNet are excited about what they can offer in 2022. The project is open to a diversity of art forms including installation, sound work, sculpture – try us. Your work does not have to be for sale.

Callout Closes midnight Sunday 16 January 2022.

• Cost to artist to exhibit – Free
