Every Victorian has been watching the news this week and thinking ‘what can I do?’  Aside from the immediate obvious things like donating blood and money, many people are looking around and seeing what other skills and resources they have available to contribute.

One such person is the ever amazing and super cool Gemma from the Kaotic Kraft Kuties, who is donating her exhibition organising skills to quickly throw together a major contemporary art raffle.

And she needs more art so for those of you (especially overseas!) artists who would like to contribute a piece of work to this show, we’d love to hear from you asap.

The show is being held at Melbourne’s iconic Outre Gallery in Elizabeth Street and is featuring these artists so far:

Arthur’s Circus (thank you Nat and Nick)
Gina Garan (of This is Blythe fame in NYC)
Magic Jelly (in South Australia)
Lab Partners (San Francisco)
Angelique Houtkamp (Amsterdam)
Shag (Los Angeles)
Audrey Kawasaki (big thanks to Outré Gallery for the generous donation)
Beci Orpin (Melbourne)

If you think you can add your name to this list – and this means having a piece of work you can put in the post today if you’re overseas – please let us know.

We will be selling raffle tickets and then doing a live draw at Outré in Melbourne on Wednesday 25 February 2009, 249 Elizabeth St, Melbourne VIC 3000

When the tickets are available I’ll post details.

International people are welcome to buy tickets – but we are asking that if you win something, that you pay for postage (average AU$25).

Stay tuned for more details.

The Kaotic Kraft Kuties are a Melbourne-based all-girl “stich’n’bitch” group founded by pop artist and Outré Gallery curator, Gemma Jones. We meet up for afternoon tea, drink champagne and take traditional low-fi Nanna skills and mix it with punk rock attitude.

We believe in spirit before skill – the modern day craft revolution – running with scissors – and saying no to mindless consumer culture

Word!  I can’t wait to squeeze into one of these sessions.  I don’t live to far away either so it’s so exciting for me to find some crafty madness happening on my side of town!
