Call for submissions to 2023 iNDx exhibition
Organisers of the 2023 iNDx exhibition are calling for artwork submissions. iNDx 2023, which will showcase the work of autistic artists, will take place from 17 October to 17 December in the Beautiful Science Gallery at Otago Museum. Organisers are accepting all art mediums: fabric, paint, digital, writing and more. However, certain styles of artwork will need to go through the museum’s pest management process to prevent the introduction of pests into the galleries. Submissions, including artist bios and list of artworks, close on 11 August. Dates for different types of artwork to be sent to Otago Museum are included in the online submission form, which you can complete online. If you would like help completing your submission form or writing a biography, or have any questions, please contact the iNDx team via email (admin@indx.org.nz).
