OFF THE WALL - artist information
art prize is now in its 5th year... Congratulations to the 20 artists who showcased their work in Melbourne 16 - 19 April. The feature looked stronger than ever and was visited by fifteen thousand people! Getting your foot in the door of commercial art galleries can be the most difficult step an artist has to take. Off The Wall provides a great opportunity not just to sell work, but also to get noticed by some of Australia's best art galleries, curators and consultants. Since 2004, we have shown over 200 emerging artists and successfully placed over 75% of them of in some of Australia's most successful art galleries. Off the Wall has rapidly become one of the most important platforms for contemporary emerging art in Australia and has been instrumental in helping literally hundreds of artists realise their potential. Off The Wall is a major feature of The Weekend Australian Art Melbourne and Art Sydney and is dedicated to the promotion of independent and unrepresented artists. It is a rare opportunity for the work of undiscovered artists to be viewed by thousands of active art buyers and over 100 commercial galleries. We also provide free professional development seminars and career advice on site for all applicants. All applicants recieve two free tickets for weekend entry. Art Sydney 09 is held 22- 25 October Closing date for applications is 17 July Art Brisbane will be back in 2010, stay tuned for details of dates and venue. check out the artist listing for all of the applicant images. Please note that only the selected artists will have their work displayed on our website for Art Sydney 2009. Cash Brown - Off The Wall coordinator. cashb@singlemarketevents.com.au Here's what some of The Weekend Australian Art Sydney 07 artists had to say.... "Off The Wall has to be the most positive experience I have had as an artist to date... from the respectful way you treated each individual artist, the contact with other OTW artists, through to the amazing feedback we received from the general public and gallery representatives. I have been hearing the term 'Art Incubator' a lot recently and I think that is exactly what you have achieved with OTW.... Yeah!!!" "Thankyou for the weekend again, it was such a fantastic experience to be part of 'Off The Wall', I had a couple galleries contact me, also a few people have e-mailed me asking for some images/work for sale, which I wouldn't have been able to achieve in such a short space of time. It was good to meet some of the artists, who were a lovely bunch of people (naturally). The exhibition itself looked great, the work from 'Off The Wall' the strongest and most diverse of Art Sydney 07. So I definitely look forward to the next few months, it’s made me enthusiastic and excited about my practice as an artist again." "I am thrilled with the way everything went. From the very first day everything about Off The Wall has been amazing, The co-ordination, communication and execution has been first-rate. The event was great and the follow up by you guys even better. I Thank you SOOOO much for everything you have done in this complex process, you have made it a wonderfully worthwhile undertaking for me (and others, obviously). I’m very excited about the publicity and public profile the show has afforded me..let’s hope it comes to something, I'm so grateful." "Thanks for organising the show so well. Everything looked fantastic, and it was really encouraging to get such good feedback. I'm really impressed by the installation of my work, it looked great. I'd love to apply for the Melbourne Off The Wall next year!" "Exhibiting in Off the Wall at both Art Melbourne and Art Sydney in 2007 was an extremely valuable experience. It provided an opportunity for my work to be seen by thousands of people which has led to future exhibition opportunities interstate as well as the sale of my work. Cash Brown was extremely supportive of all the Off the Wall artists at both art fairs. Her hard work and genuine passion to see emerging artists develop and succeed resulted in Off the Wall being one of the most successful and talked about stands at the fair....."
