Short story, shorter: I was in town for 5 days, randomly bumped into an artist, in a strange location for an Artist Residency, and within an hour was hooked up with a volunteer position with the Black Swan Prize for Portraiture. The artist was Di Taylor (http://www.ditaylor.com.au/) and she knows the Director that had just emailed looking for volunteers. Tah-Dah-- only 2 degrees of separation in this city.
So this week while Brian is in China, I will be occupied Tuesday- Friday (and next Monday) being a "Curatorial Assistant" at the Town Hall. There are 44 finalists, all from Western Australia, and one will receive a prize of $35,000 and another for $7,000 (People's Choice Award). Here is the website with more information about this non-profit organization. http://www.blackswanprize.com.au/
Will also be working the Main Award night! And the winner is.....
