• the proposal is put to the committee,
• once accepted it is put to the members who vote in a general meeting,
• the life membership is effective from the next membership cycle (generally the financial year) and the medallion is presented at the next annual exhibition.
I am honoured to propose Valda Cuming as an honorary life member of the Association of Sculptors of Victoria.
Valda joined the ASV sometime in the latter 1980’s – it was after the 1985 retrospective – she didn’t exhibit there, but since joining she has exhibited at every Annual, MIFGS and Herring Island exhibition that was put on – a great contributor! Valda has won the Margaret Gunnersen William Hoggan Thomas Award – most recently in 2010. Apart from the ASV Valda has been a mainstay of the Beaumaris Art Group, the MSWPS and a member of the Eclectics exhibiting group. Valda served as President of the ASV in 1992-3 and was on the committee until 2002
Anyone who has sat an exhibition with Valda will know that she is unfailingly generous as well as charming, intelligent and talented.
Members are invited to vote on her elevation to honorary life member at a meeting on 8th May 2013. Proxies and postal votes can be sent to the secretary
