Local Artist pop up exhibition at Franklin Arts Centre
Franklin Arts Centre are having a pop up exhibition in the community gallery space from 16 January to 9 February. We are inviting local artists to submit an artwork to be exhibited in the space.
Submissions are from 15 Dec - 12 January
Send through a photo of the work that you are wanting to submit along with the dimensions and a brief description to franklinartscentre@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
This will be a cash and carry exhibition. This means that works will be able to be taken away by the buyer once the sale has been made. Artists will be contacted if their work sells and may be offered the opportunity to display a second work in the exhibition at our discretion.
We will be offering places in the exhibition to artists on a first come first served basis. Each artist will be allowed to display one work in the exhibition. In the event that there are more spaces than artists for the exhibition, we will offer artists the opportunity to display extra works at our discretion.
Commission on Sales:
15%, plus GST. If you are registered for GST, please let us know.
If you have any further questions, do get in touch.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
