Artist call out - A Dot on the Run

Form invites Western Australian artists to participate in A Dot on the Run, an exhibition of drawings on paper.

In March 2015, FORM will launch a survey exhibition of Western Australian drawings at the Port Hedland Courthouse Gallery. The Port Hedland Courthouse Gallery is an independent exhibition space in the Pilbara that has been managed and programed by FORM since 2007.  A Dot on the Run will present a curated selection of original, unframed drawings on paper by Western Australian artists. The exhibition will launch on Friday, 13th March, 2015.

The title A Dot on the Run is inspired by Paul Klee’s quote, ‘a line is a dot that went for a walk’.
