Information
ENTRIES CLOSE SEPTEMBER 24TH
First Prize $200 Second Prize $100 Third Prize $50
All paper works will receive a free frame
This year’s prompt DARKNESS (BANGALAA).
This year we are going MONOCHROME.
So what is monochome? Think of a colour, now think of that colour at it’s darkest, and at it’s lightest, and all of the values (darkness and lightness) in between.
This is what monochrome looks like if you are using black as your colour, 
You don’t need to use black if red or purple, or any other colour, is your thing.
Here’s links to some videos that show monochrome paintings being made.
And here’s a couple of flowers that are examples of monochrome images
We encourage anyone of any experience level to give it a go.
You don’t even need to use paints if you don’t have them, think about using coffee or tea, or any other single colour.
You don’t need to use stars or space as your subject, the prompt of “darkness/bangalaa” can be explored with any subject, or none at all in the case of an abstract piece.
SPACE will be framing every paper-based piece before it goes on the wall and you get to KEEP that frame.
STAR ART 2023 will be judged without any names or information attached, and will have an in-gallery, and online voting component.
