14th April 2010: ASV Monthly Meeting: Our president Geoff Williams will talk to us about classical and abstract sculptures seen in travels to Italy and Netherlands. Visits included
Rome: Galleria Borghese, Vatican, Capitoline Museum
Florence: Uffizi Gallery, Accademy Gallery
Venice: Peggy Guggenheim Collection
Netherlands: Kroller Muller Sculpture Garden
Future Activities: Gillian Govan is unfortunately going to curtail her contributions to the ASV after April, as has been mentioned in previous newsletters and meetings. Without a replacement for her enthusiastic and energetic support, the monthly meetings will inevitably draw to a close until a volunteer comes forward to manage this aspect of ASV activities.
Gillian’s thoughts for future monthly meetings include:
1. ASV History night. - the origins of the association; about some of the early members and the origins of our awards and sponsors. Photos and talk about past exhibitions
2. More visits to studios and workshops so if anyone has any suggestions or offers I will try to arrange.
3. An information night on techniques: An interesting idea needing planning. Include safety issues
4. Venue: It was suggested we find a venue nearer the Bay. Any one prepared to do some scouting?
5. Bartering and swap meet: Unused tools, books, materials, memorabilia, Could be fun!
Another suggestion was to have a for-sale and wanted section and a question and answer section in the newsletter. More suggestions and offers to help are very welcome.
