ReplyDeleteThe list is growing very large! We will be creating a contents page soon, and having a section for featured artists...
Questions:
ReplyDeleteWhat is the limit on article word count?
What is the width of the text box for which the article is to be formatted?
@Peter Cohen
ReplyDeleteHi Peter!
There is no maximum word-count limit at the moment... of course if it is over 2000 words I may have to split it up into two posts, which the writer will receive a link for each one.
The minimum is 600 words, but I may be flexible with that depending on the topic.
Width is not needed. I paste the code into Windows Live Writer and it automatically fits to the text box.
Thanks Peter!!

Call out to artist. National Farm Art Sculpture Award.
ReplyDeleteThe Spirit of the Land Lockhart Festival held on the 12th-14th October 2012. Lockhart's Spirit of the Land festival is a unique dynamic festival in the Australian Art world with "Farm Sculpture" created from recycled metals, farm material and elements of the land. The Festival grew out of the worst drought in the Shire's 110 year history, with escalating concerns over rural suicide and economic hardship and now with 2 devastating floods in 18 months.
Our sculptures have deep meaning and come from the soul. Many stories have come from the artist who after many years of working or who had life put on hold started playing with art. They breathe heart and it touches your soul when you look at their work.
Prize pool of $17,000 with a $10,000 1st prize, but the publicity, commissioned works, and opportunity to sell you work over the weekend offers so much more. Other categories include garden art, silhouette, fine art, photography and Indigenous art. This year a new award for indigenous artist is their painting will be bought, reproduced and vinyl wrapped around a train locomotion engine.
No matter your ability there is a category for all and a chance to showcase your work to a huge array of visitors and corporate bodies. There is no theme, it a buyers paradise
With your entry this year the Spirit of the Land committee in conjunction with CountryLink can off you a return trip from any CountryLink station to come to the festival. A great weekend spent with artists exchanging ideas and creativity and enjoys true country hospitality.
The Spirit of the Land also offers boutique markets, live entertainment, and Biplane flights.
Get creative, create an art work and bring it Lockhart. Check out our web www.spiritofthelandlockhart.com.au or Facebook.
Graham, is there a way you can set things up where the photos can be enlarged to get a better look? This would be a great addition to your
ReplyDeletesite if possible.
I suspect there is some issue, or you would have done it already.
No harm in asking!
Thank you Sarah, really interesting info.
