Amanda Davies in Shotgun 2011

CAST and project partner, Detached Cultural Organisation present the second edition of this annual early career artist exhibition and professional development opportunity. Shotgun provides a platform for promising early career artists based in Tasmania to develop new work for exhibition. This years artists are Andrew Harper and our own Amanda Davies.

Shotgun operates under a flexible curatorial model with selection of applications assessed through a committee process. This year sixteen artists from across Tasmania were invited to submit portfolios. From these submissions six artists were chosen for interview, and ultimately two were selected for inclusion in Shotgun.
