Art Monthly National (Australia)
As the world grows smaller through technology, does our sense of community grow bigger, differently? What does ‘community’ mean for artists today; what has it meant through the ages? In its second year, the Art Monthly Australia Emerging Arts Writers’ Award asks budding voices to respond to the theme of Art + Community. The Award is open to Australian residents but you can write about work from any nation or era, even about your own work if it fits the bill. Visual artists who work within, for and about community are all likely subjects, as is an article addressing the very notion or philosophy of community-minded practice.
