President’s Message for September

Gillian’s organised visit to Fundere Foundry has been a hit: see write-up below. Please respond to her.

Currently showing is the ASV supported Tesselaar sculpture exhibition, with Committee member Mark Cowie organising it, and ASV members making up 16 of the 31 finalists: see Mark’s description below. A total of 12 ASV members were mentioned in the detailed
“Judge’s Deliberation”. Please support the Exhibition.

The ASV Annual Exhibition is to open in Eltham from 6 to 31 October. Marija Patterson and her team have worked hard to make it a success. You are urged to support the ASV and attend the Official Opening by Pamela Irving on Saturday 9 October, 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm.
Notices of the AGM have been issue to all members by mail, and electronically to those with email addresses. As a voluntary organisation, we rely on you as members to supply the management as well as the art of the ASV.

This month’s featured artist is Marija Patterson, an Emerging Artist. I was personally impressed in particular by her portrait commission shown below of Fred Chalupa, one of Marija’s clients- I have not often seen a 3D portrait as striking and alive as that.

We have been offered possibilities of 2 additional exhibitions, one a permanent display gallery for the ASV in the suburban area commencing this year, and one an annual exhibition in the country commencing 2011. Both will likely be for ASV members only, and we will advise members of developments.

Michael Meszaros has been providing advice and support to a new exhibition in South Australia, and an advertisement for the Robe Acquisitive Outdoor Sculpture Prize is included in the  Notices section.
