THINGS OF INTEREST and Artist opportunities

John Fries Award
This year’s Copyright Agency | Viscopy John Fries Award, which is a platform for some of the most engaging and experimental works from emerging Australian and New Zealand artists, opened for entries on Monday 3 March.
The annual non-acquisitive award of $10,000 is open to emerging artists of all ages and disciplines, who are Australian or New Zealand citizens or who have been resident in Australia or New Zealand for the 12 months prior to 6 May 2014. In 2014 the entry criteria has been simplified and only requires that entrants self-identify as emerging artists.
For the first time, the Award and Finalists’ Exhibition in August will be held at Galleries UNSW, COFA – the Award’s new venue partner in Paddington, Sydney
Viscopy director, John Fries Award judge and daughter of the late John Fries, Kath Fries, says the Award has “gone from strength to strength each year with many previous winners and finalists continuing to achieve other significant milestones in their careers. The Exhibition offers a glimpse of what’s occurring at the dynamic ‘emerging’ edge of the contemporary art scene, and heightens our expectations of the future.”
Once again, the Award’s Guest Curator is Sebastian Goldspink, whose experience leading initiatives like Alaska Projects and Art Month has helped to mature the Award to become a significant event in Australia’s arts and cultural calendar.
The 2013 John Fries Award was won by Jess Olivieri and Hayley Forward for their collaborative video work Harlequins Vs Visitors, which the judges described as directly reflecting the spirit of the award.
The award has been donated by the Fries family in memory of former Viscopy director and honorary treasurer, John Fries, who made a remarkable contribution to the life and success of Viscopy. The Award’s sponsors include: International Art Services, 10 group, Little Creatures Brewery, and Small Acres Cyder.

Calling for submissions for Linden Projects 2015
Linden is looking for exciting and creative proposals from artists.
In 2015, we are refining our “Innovators” program and re-launching is as the “Linden Projects’. This means Linden will be able to provide:
More opportunities to more artists to exhibit with us
A cohesive snapshot of contemporary art practice that explores a particular theme, idea or medium
In 2015, we are seeking dynamic proposals that respond to two key areas:
Atmosphere
In a shifting world where the climate is changing we invite artists to respond to the changes in the environment. We are looking for innovative, reflecting and inspiring responses.
Paper
Rip it, burn it, stamp it, fold it, cut it, print on it, paste it or sculpt it…as one of the oldest mediums used by artists we are looking for bold, refreshing and exciting ways that paper is used by artists today.
All proposals will be assessed by a panel of industry experts with feedback provided to all those that apply.
Read the guidelines and download the application form HERE
Applications close 5pm, Friday 4 April 2014
