Calling all artists – TADNSW needs your help!
Last year TADNSW put out a call to artists to help produce a commemorative calendar to mark 35 years. The result was a colourful, diverse and eye-catching collection of artworks created by clients, volunteers and supporters of TADNSW.
Due to the success of this production, TADNSW have decided to do it again. Now the search begins for content for the 2012 Calendar. As in 2010, TADNSW again ask that you draw something, paint something, take a photo of something - or perhaps you have an even better idea.
