The 2026 ski season opening at Falls Creek earlier this month saw the unveiling of Giovanni Veronesi’s Flower of the Alpine Sun, 2026 – the highest altitude public artwork in Australia.
Visitors to the work are immersed in the alpine environment to share in a unique experience of this place, fostering an appreciation of the ecosystem to encourage awareness for its preservation for generations to come.
Convened in conjunction with the Melbourne Prize Trust, Giovanni Veronesi won the Falls Creek Gateway Public Art Commission.

President's Letter and Editor's Quote
“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” (Henry David Thoreau)
Hello Sculptors!
I joined the ASV in the 1990’s. Back then we held the Annual & Awards Exhibition in city foyers and monthly meetings in the Ola Cohn Centre in East Melbourne.With only one exhibition each year sculptors pursued their various other lives - commission work, solo sculpture careers, small group exhibitions and other careers.
The meetings, held nearly every month, were full of valuable information, contacts, inspiration and kept us in touch with the mechanics of running an association. Just as important were the casual, face to face encounters over coffee or in the courtyard as we left the meeting - more information exchange, technical advice, tips on suppliers and everything that friendship and common purpose can enable.
With our Annual & Awards Exhibition we are not only face to face with each other but also with our visitors. Not all of us are extroverts who seek to engage with all and sundry in presenting our work - it is indeed a vulnerable position to put heart and soul into a sculpture and stand it up in public. Take courage!
Visit to TREAD
Tim Read Visit
On Saturday with the help of Google we wound our way along a dirt road out the back of Warrandyte till we found the entry to Tread Sculptures, Tim Reads property. As we drove in we passed sculptures either side of the driveway and then came to the piles of fascinating metal. Tim was very welcoming and my partner who is an ex-chippie and part time mechanic really enjoyed the tour and asked more technical questions than I did. Tim and his partner who does the leadlight and glass slumping have a small inside gallery as well as the pieces in the grounds and around the house. After seeing the workshop and slumping kiln we did the sculpture trail that winds up and down the hill finishing below the house near the river. If you missed the visit I would highly recommend ringing 0405101001 and going out for a tour, I will take my brother when he is next down from Queensland.

Annual & Awards Exhibition 2026
Hi everyone,
our Annual Awards exhibition is rapidly approaching and I hope by the time the newsletter is out that acceptances will have been sent. Please check your junk mail to make sure you receive it . It is very important that you check the catalogue information and roster carefully. I would also encourage everyone to check if their plinths need repainting. We will have a delivery schedule as there is restricted parking out the front for 15 minutes so we need to move works in quickly and we will have people there to help with this.
There is a side entrance for disabled access that we are able to use to the left of the main entrance to avoid stairs and Jude will be waiting to open the door when the buzzer is pressed. All hanging works will need to be delivered first and those concerned will get special delivery time emailed to them. For those new to exhibiting with us there will be a desk inside the front door with the sign in register and a map of the layout so you know where to put your pieces. In the galleries themselves there will be a photo of your work roughly in the position it needs to be although we will rearrange some works when everything has arrived. You will be given a large number for your work and hopefully we will have a photobooth set up so works can be photographed on arrival.
Looking forward to seeing all your work
Heather.
