News and Events

NAVA's newsletter has been full of important information – progress on resale royalties, the code of conduct for working with children, marketing workshops and the formation of a design coalition – joining the interests of architecture, urban, landscape and interior design, product and graphic design, fashion and visual arts, craft and new media.

Helen Clancy and Sue McCall will be showing painting and sculpture Celebrating Diversity at Cotham Gallery 101, 101 Cotham Road Kew from 12th March to 2nd April – as Helen says Always hoping the sculptures are not reduced to a charred crumbling mess by then.”

And from Janet Cameron:

Good news is I put in a submission to enter "Art in the Conservatory: Lighting up Bendigos Icons" they; only chose two regional artists and guess what? yep I got in and will have work in the Conservatory during the Easter Festival - think the date is something like the 9th to the 14th of April this year. I note that the City of Greater Bendigo will provide insurance of the work throughout the Festival. Will also get $500 toward costs. Now I just have to get cracking and make this sculpture.

All the Best Janet J Cameron

Abbotsford Convent is celebrating its 5th Birthday - Rough Diamond :: Convent Cornucopia 2009 is the Annual Gala Fundraising Event produced by the Abbotsford Convent Foundation (ACF) – a not-for-profit organisation responsible for the development of a community-owned arts, culture and learning precinct. Convent Cornucopia is held every year on 24 April (Anzac Eve) – the date that ‘the keys’ to the Convent were handed over to the ACF following a remarkable seven year battle to save the Abbotsford Convent site from inappropriate development.
This year, The Abbotsford Convent is celebrating her 5th birthday as a community-owned cultural asset. A rare gem, The Abbotsford Convent is a grand old dame albeit tarnished with age and worn by time. She has a dazzling future as a beacon of diverse cultural activity – community life at its palpable, beautiful best. Defined by shared cultural nurturing and learning of changing moods and big personalities, she is a rough diamond.
Convent Cornucopia 2009 is the unique Abbotsford Convent experience – a rare opportunity to see her all lit up and dressed up … with the promise of a good time. In contrast to her controversial and stoic past, Convent Cornucopia 2009 offers a revelatory (and possibly more than a little risqué) opportunity to mingle amongst the shared memories with old (and new) friends.
