The South West Showcase (exhibiting August - September 2011)
This opportunity offers a supported solo (or small group) exhibition to South West artists which highlights innovation and excellence in regional visual art practice. An excellent opportunity for mid-career artists seeking to advance their practice to a new level or for senior artists wishing to exhibit in their home region. All media will be considered while innovation and experimental practice will be highly valued.

Christmas Shop (exhibiting December 2010 – January 2011) 
The Christmas Shop exhibition aims to increase practitioners access to new markets with their work, which is an excellent opportunity for designers and craftworkers and also emerging artists. Many senior artists use this as an opportunity to make accessible, affordable and often smaller works and thus attracting new markets to their ongoing practice. Works of all media, including, but not limited to, glass, ceramics, woodwork, textiles, sculpture, jewellery, photography and works on paper will be considered for inclusion. The exhibition offers Christmas shoppers the chance to consider the purchase of original objects and artworks as gifts for the holiday season.

The South Western Times Survey (exhibiting February – April 2011) 
The South Western Times Survey is one of the most exciting features of the Bunbury Regional Art Galleries’ annual calendar. As the region’s premier visual arts exhibition, the Survey sets out to showcase the diversity and quality of South West arts practice. Excellence is recognized each year with cash prizes and acquisitive awards. All artists who enter this exhibition will become part of the region’s most significant visual arts event. Selection into the Survey is an aspirational exhibition and is always a highly competitive process, however certainly worth the opportunity.
