Colosoul Art Exhibition: Opportunity
COLOSOUL GROUP INC. are holding a fundraiser for the children at the Princess Margaret Hospital Burns Unit.
Colosoul Magazine is an independent youth magazine dedicated to raising awareness about contemporary issues that WA youth are dealing with. Colosoul is designed for young people by young people, who are given the opportunities to excel in the media arts by producing a fresh and vibrant magazine.
In holding this event, we aim to not only provide a platform for emerging WA artists to exhibit and sell their artwork, but to also generate awareness of the obstacles the children at the PMH Burns Unit overcome and to raise money for the unit to go towards better and more resources.
The art works will be by emerging WA artists who will receive 20% of the sales. 60% of the money raised will be given as a donation to the Burns Unit at PMH. The remaining 20% will go back into the mentorship program at Colosoul Group Inc.

Paper Chain
We love the idea behind this project, so thought we would share it with all of you like-minded people!

Anyone is welcome to join in. The first Chains began in April 2010, around twenty people became part of the first “chains”. These participants have been making/receiving collage artworks through the post, that's snail mail - old school style! Collages are not limited to paper, (some suggestions have included fabric, photo montage, literary, video or sound collage & assemblage) the only restriction is post-ability!
The lovely folks participating in Paper Chain either create a new work as a “chain starter”, or they are creating work in response to artwork they have received in the mail, as a chain link. Each person is given an address to send their piece to, and so the chain links up. Each person has 4 weeks to create their work.
Paper Chain began as a response to social media, and was first experimented on Facebook. We had such a great response to Paper Chain that we expanded the idea outside of the realms of FB.
We currently have eleven chains creating and mailing artworks across Australia and worldwide! We are interested in the concept of networking/connecting and the physicality and joy of receiving mail. A project where people who are friends, acquaintances and friends of friends interact online, in real time and in their creative capacities.
To find out more, and see the collages so far, visit --
and/or
join us at the Paper Chain facebook group
Please feel free to pass this email on to anyone you think may be interested.
If you would like to join the Paper Chain please send an email to clairebushby@gmail.com

Outskirts 2011: Call for submissions
On Sunday 25 September the creative hub of Northbridge will come alive for Outskirts, a precinct wide festival celebrating emerging fashion and design. Pop-up stores, artist studios, performance, street stalls, designer sales, workshops and more will take to the streets, as part of Outskirts, which is an event within the Perth Fashion Festival.
Outskirts is a pedestal for upcoming and existing local WA talent - the inaugural 2009 event comprised of over 50 things to do, see and collect, supported over 290 individual creatives and was a huge success for all involved. This year we hope to make it even better by filling every nook in Northbridge with something exciting, and we're hoping that you can be part of making this happen.
You're Invited
We're looking for creative people, businesses and organisations to get involved in this year's Outskirts program.
The scope is huge, and it is really up to what you would like to do to be included. To get you thinking, here are few ideas:
- a pop up store
- take your studio to the street for a day
- a static display of your latest collection
- an exhibition
- a street market stall
- a group activity involving the public (workshop, public art installation, etc)
- a fashion parade
Your concept can be purely promotional - building an image for your brand, or commercial - aiming to make sales on the day.
