Call for Entries: Arts Gold Awards 2013, by 20 September

Arts Gold Awards 2013
The Central Otago District Arts Trust is dedicated 
to promoting the understanding and appreciation of the arts. 
The aim of the Arts Gold Awards is to celebrate artists 
who are dedicated to creating innovative art with unique or challenging aesthetics 
and to present new and interesting work to our region 
that is socially conscious, contemplative and generates dialogue.

and the Central Otago Artist Award winner will receive $2000. 
This year the judges are Cam McCracken, the Director of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery
