Editor's Quote and President's letter for April 2026

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” (Henry David Thoreau)
Hello Sculptors!

This month you have two tasks:
  • Get your entry in to the Annual & Awards Exhibition and
  • Activate and update your presence on the ASV website
The entry forms for the Annual & Awards Exhibition hit the website as soon as MIFGS finished - they were ready even earlier. It is not ideal rolling from one exhibition to the next with little time to think about lessons learned and impressions created. At the moment we don’t have much choice - MIFGS is when it is and the Annual & Awards Exhibition currently has to fit into the Victorian Artists Society gallery availability. The ASV committee is looking at options - and if you have ideas that could help please let us know.

Dates for Your Diary

TREAD SCULPTURES

Visit Tim Read at his bush gallery and sculpture trail.

225 Catani Boulevard .
Bend of Islands.3097

Bring a packed lunch and a fold up chair.

Enjoy meeting Tim and glass artist Rob Hayley. There is so much to see and learn. Tim has a passion for steel and a talent for repurposing. This should be an inspiring and creative adventure to their studios.

Annual & Awards Exhibition

Hi everyone, our Annual and Awards exhibition is once again at the Victorian Artists Society at the end of June and entry forms are online now.

Association of Sculptors of Victoria

A few changes for this year as we are not sharing with painters and the exhibition will run for two weeks rather than three. This means we will have unlimited wall space for those of you who like to make pieces that can be hung but please think about how much pieces weigh and have more than one hanging line if necessary.
