BOAA has started so time to plan a trip to the ‘Rat’ I think it will blow your socks off!(I am not biased) I have included a pic or 2 of my piece - shameless self promotion!
To do the show justice I think you will need more than a day, but I guess any visit is better than none
I have also attached a you tube link that was on the ABC news last Saturday night

Are you looking for new audiences for your artwork? Set in the heart of the Yarra Valley, purpose built in timber and mud-brick by sculptor Ernst Fries, We are now offering Flexible Options for artists to exhibit in one or more of the three rooms. Each room has a mix of large and small wall spaces which are ideal for artists who want to exhibit only a few artworks or are experimenting with a new series and looking for feedback.
Options include: one or multiple rooms, whole gallery (walls), stands/shelves for sculpture or ceramics (by room or scattered throughout the gallery), Jewellery display (locked & lit), outdoors. The gallery will still be available for solo or group shows and exhibitions will run for 6 weeks (or shorter by arrangement) with prices inclusive of curation, advertising, opening, manning.
Contact me if you would like to exhibit at Art at Linden Gate. 0418 851 819 http://www.artatlindengategallery.com.au/
