IN TRANSIT
In Transit is an inclusive art project/exhibition organised by Perthshire Visual Arts Forum . This year’s PVAF theme ‘There to Here’ poses the questions of where we all live, where art happens and how we bridge the gaps and creatively connect with each other.
The Project is open to all career oriented artists who attend or who are connected – or would like to become connected - with PVAF events.
Exhibition date 8th – 28th October
Birnam Art Centre Birnam Perthshire
The exhibition will become part of an extended art work trail linked to the 2008 Perthshire Visual Arts Forum on 18th & 19th October

WE
will exhibit these works complete with label showing your name. and the bag it arrived in.
The works will be hung from the string so that viewers can handle or view the works from all sides ( where this is appropriate). Plinths and glass cabinets will also be used where appropriate.
We make no limitation on size , but you have to get it to us by post unless you can deliver in person. Heavy works might need to be shown on plinths or floor .
This is a great opportunity to make a NEW WORK that engages with the brief. Be creative - think outside the box - use your own medium or try something new. Have fun.

Works will need to be collected, if possible on the take down date of 29th October OR posted back to you.. If you wish the work to be posted we will need you to enclose return stamps and a self addressed sticker so that we can re-use your original packaging.
