Biennial Exhibition
& Art Auction In
The Streets of 4101
October 7‐21
Artists
TRACE is a biennial exhibition and art auction in the streets of West End. It puts contemporary art in the community, and raises much needed funds for Community Plus’s vital services. The artists in TRACE are among Australia’s most important, and many have strong connections to the area.
Visit the art in a chemist, book shops, a jeweller, a mechanic’s garage, and lots of other unlikely venues along Boundary and Vulture Streets. Then bid for the work online, with proceeds supporting the indispensable Community Plus+ and their work with marginalised and vulnerable community members. Since the 1960s many artists have investigated different ways to exhibit art outside of purpose-built galleries and museums. TRACE draws from this trajectory of encountering art in ordinary and unexpected places.
There will be a guided walking tour of the exhibition, led by curator Dr Susan Ostling on each Saturday of the show (14, & 21 October).
Tours meet at Bunyapa Park on Vulture St, West End at 9.30am. Book here for the Saturday 14th tour and here for the Saturday 21st tour. Tickets are free but limited.
TRACE runs from October 7–21. Online bidding up until 9pm October 28.
TRACE is only possible through the remarkable generosity of participating artists, venues, and supporters. All the artists are paid for their work, with funds raised through the gallerists' donation of their usual commissions, as well as supporters donating their valuable time and resources.
Please support them whenever possible.
