The Association of Sculptors of Victoria is an inclusive, not-for-profit collective of contemporary artists whose purpose is to inspire,stimulate and advance the appreciation, creation, and exploration of three-dimensional art in society.

CONSTITUTION

At the end of last year a number of changes were made to the constitution in a major overhaul aimed at correcting some anomalies, simplifying the document and the administration of the association.

Concern has been expressed by some members about the new Membership clause. In particular who can and cannot be a full member. The committee has been asked to investigate options with a view to putting alternatives to the Membership.

A number of submissions have been received, some were thought too difficult to administer, and others were withdrawn after discussion with the proposer.

The Committee believes that two options are viable and wish to have an indication from members as to which they prefer. A formal notice will be sent out shortly detailing the options and the voting procedure.

When this is done a detailed “change of Constitution” motion will be prepared for voting on at a Special General meeting in May.

It may be that you are happy with the new constitution, in which case you would need to vote against the motion at the Special Meeting.
