Calling all textile artists, crafters and visual artists.
We invite you to contribute to our next community exhibition showcasing new works that explore pockets. Presented as part of the 2027 Adelaide Fringe Festival, Pockets will showcase a wide range of artworks that explore the rich and little-known realm of pockets.
We encourage traditional, conceptual, playful, representational, and experimental approaches to the theme of Pockets. This is an opportunity to consider the history, evolution, culture, and symbolism of pockets as they apply to human history.
How to be involved:
Contribute 1-2 artworks relating to the theme. Find out more by referring to the Pockets Exhibition Participation Guidelines. After that register your participation by completing the registration form.
