Sydney-based creative studio Entropico – which has produced major campaigns for brands including Samsung, Country Road, YouTube and the NSW Government, as well as the Netflix film ONEFOUR: Against All Odds – will host a dynamic exhibition and accessible art sale at their Gadigal/Sydney creative studios this week.
The ‘Come Together’ exhibition will feature over 25 artists from Entropico's roster, displaying a wide range of mediums and styles. From expressionist photographers to pop illustrators, 3D artists and typographers, this diverse collection highlights the breadth of talent within Entropico. Limited edition prints of each work will be
available for sale (A3 AUD$90 and A2 AUD$135 + postage), with all proceeds benefiting Deadly Connections, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting First Nations communities.
“Entropico is a creative company that works between advertising and originals, and the creative space we work out of in Australia is also home to Deadly Connections – an organisation whose work we greatly admire,” said Entropico founder Erin Moy. “We have a really strong line-up of boundary-pushing creatives, and we wanted to come together and harness that diverse creativity for a great cause.”
Deadly Connections is an Aboriginal Community Controlled not-for-profit organisation committed to building strong, safe, and healthy communities by providing a culturally safe and respectful space for First Nations people to engage in healing, access culturally responsive services/programs, and participate in decision-making processes. Deadly Connections disrupts systemic racism, intergenerational disadvantage, grief, loss and trauma by providing holistic, culturally responsive interventions and services to First Nations people and communities, particularly those who have been impacted by the child protection and/or justice systems.
“‘Come Together’ reflects the spirit of unity, the power of creativity, and the strength of community,” said Carly Stanley, CEO of Deadly Connections. “Through this collaboration with Entropico and their talented artists, we not only raise vital funds and awareness for our work at Deadly Connections, but also celebrate the role of art in storytelling, healing, and inspiring change. This exhibition is a testament to the strength and resilience of collaboration, and we are deeply thankful to everyone involved for standing with us and supporting our mission.”
Open for one weekend only IRL, ‘Come Together’ will feature one work from each Entropico artist, available in two sizes and printed to order, with all funds raised going to Deadly Connections. If you’re interstate or international, don’t worry. Works will also be sold via an online web store for two weeks after the event.
