ASV ACTIVITIES AND EXHIBITIONS

ELLIOT ASV GALLERY

There was Gallery “refreshment” on 20th February to replace the sculptures sold between December and January, and the Gallery now shines with the new works.

Gallery opening times:
Tuesday to Saturday 9:00-5:00
Sunday and Monday by appointment only (041 234 9825).
ASV invites all member sculptors to submit outdoor works for inclusion to the Elliot ASV Gallery.

Castlemaine State Festival
ASV Sculpture Exhibition

ASV members Catherine and Neil Tait have generously provided their property and garden at their rural bush setting in Muckleford (approximately ten minutes from the centre of Castlemaine) for the purposes of hosting an ASV sculpture exhibition. The exhibition will be held during the highly-successful and well-attended Castlemaine State Festival from Friday, 1 April to Sunday, 10 April 2011. Over 50,000 people attended the last State Festival, so there is the opportunity to display your work to a significant number of visitors.
The Taits would like to provide the ASV with an opportunity to:

• Add a bi-annual event to its exhibiting calendar;
• promote and publicise ASV to a broader audience;
• support ASV sculptors;
• conduct a membership drive that attracts sculptors from the Central Victoria region to become ASV members; and
• generate additional revenue for ASV (commissions and memberships).

MEMBERSHIP COORDINATOR

Are you interested in becoming more involved in the Association? There is a great opportunity to work with the Membership Secretary for a couple of months to learn about how the Membership data is kept up to date, how to use Excel to output records, and produce Membership Renewal forms. You will also become more aware of the workings of the ASV website. Please contact Kay Salehi on 9808 4056 or send her an email on kays27@tpg.com.au if you are interested. She will be sending out renewals by early June and desperately needs your assistance as she will be away for 6 weeks after 8th June. Hope to hear from an interested member soon.
