Meetings are held in the Boroondara Community Arts Room, rear 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn and start at 7:30pm.
12th November
This will be our AGM. Information on arranging nominations, proxies and so on will be in accordance with the official notice later in this newsletter.
Please come and help set our path for the coming year.
Grant Finck has kindly agreed to come to talk to us about his work at the November meeting. Grant now lives in Anglesea but is making the journey to Melbourne for this meeting. Lets make it really worthwhile. He has a wealth of experience to impart.
Grant started his professional career as a potter and sculptor in 1977 By 1989 he had reached the limits of the ceramic medium. Work from this period is featured in five public collections. He went on to do postgraduate studies at the Victorian College of the Arts where the environment opened a world of possibilities in materials and conceptual development. Since this time he has completed many public commissions and has been involved in many projects around Victoria. Grant has maintained a strong studio practice. His work was selected as a finalist in 2006 for the Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Awards and was an exhibitor in the inaugural Lorne Sculpture Exhibition. He has just delivered a work to Sydney to appear in The Bondi Sculpture on the Beach Exhibition. Grant has so much to tell us about the development of his present work.
Please come along 7.30pm
Grant's talk will be followed by the AGM when we will be nominating and electing your committee for next year. I will be standing down as Activities Secretary but I would like to thank all those people who have spoken at our meetings and hope it has been an interesting year. It has been a very rewarding experience for me to meet so many accomplished artists and learn so much about their practices. I would also like to thank all our members who shared their work, experiences and knowledge with us. Last but not least I want to thank all the members who came to the meetings and made it all worthwhile.
Christmas party
Our Christmas party this year will be held on Sunday 7th December at the home of Tim and Dianne Kervin:
3, Mary Place, Hurstbridge.
BBQ facilities are available.
They have large indoor and outdoor entertainment areas. It should be fun.
Next Year
A programme of activities is already on the way with a talk by Michael Meszaros,about his achievements in getting and completing his commission at the new Royal Women's hospital. Richard Grenville Smith has agreed to talk to us about his Sculptures in Graphite and I am hoping also to give the opportunity to involve more country members when we have a possible visit to Castlemaine during their festival.
Watch this space for more details.
