The Berwick Great Art Show (5th - 7th April 2019)
We have received the following request from Provenance Artists Inc.
"Provenance Artists Inc. is a not-for-profit society of local artists, who for the last decade have organised the best premium and largest art shows in Berwick & the South-East - all without an income.
The Great Art Show now attracts up to 800 paintings and 3,000 patrons. It will be held in the Auditorium of Nossal High School, Federation University Campus in Clyde Road, Berwick.
Provenance Artists are seeking your help to get sponsorship for some of the awards at the show. We understand that your Club memberes have better contacts in the business world and may be able to use these to assist us.
We are seeking awards for the various sections in the show for the best art by top artists ($1,000) and awards for the next generation of emerging artists.
We trust that some of your members may be able to help us to bring the best premium art show to Berwick."
The poster below is an example of the type of art show that Provenance Artists Inc organise.
