RE:CREATION the EXHIBITION…
The annual Tropical Fruits Art Exhibition aims to showcase
the enormous diversity and talent of GLBT artists, as well as
provide a chance for local and interstate artists to collaborate and communicate with each other and potential clients.
RE:CREATE your world
and the way you see it for our community and tribe …
Since 2004, the Exhibition has added to the NY Festival experience, providing a visually captivating, atmospheric space to titillate
our visitors and partygoers' visual and aural senses.
The Exhibition provides the opportunity to sell artwork directly to buyers. Tropical Fruits takes no commissions or fees.
As in previous years Tropical Fruits will be awarding cash prizes
to the creators of the most highly judged artworks. Awards will be
Peoples’ Choice based on voting slips completed
on NYE by visitors to the Exhibition.
In 2011 the Peoples’ Choice Awards will be:
1st Prize $500
2nd & 3rd $250 each
