Artist Call-out ARTillery 2010

Visual artists are invited to take up the challenge and apply to be a part Masterpeace. Each selected artist will be given an information pack on one of Amnesty International’s individuals at risk (someone imprisoned unjustly), and will create a work based on the information in whatever form the artists feels appropriate. The Masterpeace exhibition is one of 5 events happening in Perth during the festival, which will run from the 1st to the 10th of December.
