ABOUT SHAF ONE DAY EVENTS
SHAF on Tour, One day events are collaboratively displays of SHAF member work at local shows, primarily agricultural or local festivals.
In 2023, the SHAF marque allowed members to showcase their work alongside other artists.
A selection process will choose between 6 to 10 artists based on space requirements and interest. Local shows are ideal for introducing various artists’ work, attracting new members, and promoting upcoming shows and exhibitions.
These events help elevate SHAF’s visibility to a broader audience, benefiting all involved, including participating artists. SHAF has acquired its own marquee and display units to provide a professional gallery ambiance.
Are you interested in joining SHAF to promote members and the organisation in a relaxed, social environment?
