I'm organizing an exhibition, would you like to be involved? Im seeking women who are interested in exhibiting a work related to what could possibly be a lil controversial...
The theme is VAGINA, yes I'm serious. An exhibition dedicated to the sexuality and sensuality of women.

The journey's, the myths, the controversy...what it means to be a woman and to have a vagina, the way it has shaped and hindered us and affected us and our lives...

Obviously it will be a very personal project in terms of how each woman feels and thinks about themselves and their sexuality-sensuality, what their life experiences may have been and in what way they wish to express themselves.

Whether its in the form of a painting, photography, drawing, sculpting, sewing, writing or whatever other medium they choose to exhibit, abstract or realistic...Tis open to each artists own unique interpretation.

Certainly works can be for sale or not for sale...
The exhibition will be held at the Tap Gallery for one week 12th - 18th September.
Each exhibitor will need to pay a fee to enter the exhibition $40 to cover costs associated.

The gallery will take a % of $ for any artworks sold, I am also hoping to raise awareness for and arrange a % of $ for a related cause...Yet to be decide?

At present I am organizing numbers and interest, so get back to me as soon as you can and let me know if you or anyone you know would like to be involved?

Great idea, I have nothing to exhibit unfortunately but I wish you all the best for a successful exhibition. Just commenting as the first cause that came to mind, in keeping with your theme, was the Hamlin fistula hospital in Ethiopia. Looking forward to hearing who you decide to support, there are so many worthy organisations out there :)

I agree Kanga Creative, there are so many valuable and worthy causes out there, near and afar. I am happy to say we will be supporting the Salvation Army Safe House and will have a guest speaker from there to talk on the opening night. As the only refuge of its kind in Australia, The Salvation Army needs support to ensure a safe haven for people whose most basic rights have been violated, sometimes quite brutally. We choose to support this cause as the truth is it is closer to home than we would like to think, human trafficking into Australia exists :-( Contact me Melanie Lee for info on exhibiting your artwork in the exhibition or to be of assistance and donate to the safe house please contact the Salvation Army’s Donor Services on 13 72 58. http://salvos.org.au/justiceun​it/
