ARTIST CALL OUT - POPPIN' TAGS
The City of PAE is inviting artists to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for Poppin’ Tags – A Pop-Up Art Exhibition. From this process, up to ten artists will be selected to develop an artwork, for display in a touring exhibition around PAE.
The commissioned artwork will be unique, of high quality, and primarily created using materials sourced from PAE Op Shops.
"Poppin' Tags" is an exciting community arts initiative that invites artists to delve into the unique world of op shopping within the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. This project is a platform for artistic innovation, community engagement, and the celebration of sustainable practices.
