Paintbrushes out for International Women’s Day Exhibition 2023

18 January, 2023

It’s time to mark International Women’s Day by creating something special for the Gunnedah International Women’s Day Exhibition 2023.

Gunnedah Cultural Precinct Team Leader Michael Cornford said March 8 was an important day in the global calendar, and Gunnedah had plenty of reason to celebrate.

“While the 2023 theme for the day is #EmbraceEquity, this is an opportunity to create amazing art – whether it is a painting, drawing, sculpture or another form of art – to symbolise any aspect of women,” Mr Cornford said.

“In the past, this has been a very popular exhibition in Gunnedah.
“Maybe it’s because there are so many directions this theme can take us. It can be an opportunity to pay tribute to women's achievement, to raise awareness about discrimination, or just to have fun with the theme.

“We hope to see many submissions to make this a really vibrant and exciting exhibition.”

Submissions are due at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery by 5pm on Thursday, March 2.

The International Women’s Day Exhibition 2023 will officially open at 6pm on Friday, March 10, with a black and white theme, and continue until Sunday, April 16. For entry forms and more information, visit www.thecivic.com.au, or contact Gunnedah Shire Council on 6740 2100.
