Call for entries: Rotorua Unison Powerboxes

 
   

This year sees the redesign of the Unison Power Boxes in Rotorua CBD.  This is a wonderful opportunity for local work to be viewed by both residents and visitors to Rotorua and will remain in the public eye for five to seven years.

Artists are invited to submit their plan with the theme of ‘The Rotorua Experience.’  The design brief is otherwise open.  All styles (traditional, abstract and contemporary) are welcomed.

There are 30 Power Boxes in the central city to be designed (or redesigned) and artists may choose to submit one or more designs for these.  Of these power boxes, a number require  a front design (one-sided) and others a front and rear design (two-sided).  Either variation also has space for artistic design on the sides and top, as the artist wishes.   Artists are encouraged to plan for either scenario.

All selected entries will be given an award of $400.00 per one-sided or $800.00 per two-sided design upon completion and final approval by Unison.  In addition to this, Reader’s Choice Awards of $1000 and $500 will be given to the first and second most votes received respectively through a published competition.

Tarnished Frocks and Divas Present Zoetica- August 30

 

Zoetica translates roughly as ‘to live life animatedly’. Zoetica follows the story of a group of women who come together to create and launch a project like no other.

Peta Mathias joins TF&D for our 2017 show. She plays her part as a stylish executive with fingers in many pies – running her entrepreneurial empire on the technological superhighway.

Jackie Clarke is back. However, instead of strutting the stage in her full glory, in her role this year it may be a case of ‘spot the Jackie’ exhibiting her usual fun and exuberance.

The catwalk segments will intertwine edgy industrial, feminine lace and many more themes into the storyline supported by our outstanding dancers.

When circumstances put them together on the Kitchen Witches show, insults are flung harder than food!
Dolly’s long-suffering son, the producer, tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly’s dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel’s, it’s a losing battle.
