The Wizard of Oz Call for Art & No Place Like Home:  Make your own magical shoes

 

Neath Arts Festival is returning this October with many wonderful events being held all over town!

We are inviting artists of all ages to create art based on The Wizard of Oz and to submit it for our very own “Wonderful Exhibition of Oz”. We had great success last year with our ‘Alice in Wonderland’ exhibition and want to continue that this year with ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Art can be of any medium or style, traditional painting and illustration, print, ceramic & sculpture, textiles, collage, digital. We are open to everyone!


As well as this, we are inviting you to create your own pair of magical shoes that reminds you home and would magically transport you there if you found yourself in the Land of Oz. The shoes could be inspired by traditional shoes from your country such as traditional sandals or clogs, based on your hobby or passion e.g. sports or ballet/dance shoes. Let your imagination run wild!

The shoes could be 3D, a 2D drawing or painting or a decorated pair of old shoes your no longer need.

Have fun and be creative!
