Editor's Quote and President's Letter for January 2026

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” (Henry David Thoreau)
Welcome to 2026 fellow sculptors!

Already we are half way through the exhibition in the Herring Island Gallery. The work has been admired by hundreds of lovely visitors, Jude Bridges-Tull has inspired creativity with environmental clay in the courtyard, and a few brave souls have signed up as new members. It makes me proud of the ASV that we continue to offer inspiring exhibitions in a diversity of venues. The work is amazing!

This morning I posted the heat plan for Herring Island on the Festival website and had an online meeting with Alberto about the new website - it certainly keeps us living in the moment! The website is happening - brighter, faster and more under our control… but there are so many little details to keep track of at this stage…. so watch this space!

He has developed all the skills we need using MYOB and so we know where we stand financially.
