******************************

We would like to let you and the sculpture community know about a free talk and tour by author Barbara Lemon who will discuss her book: ‘A Way with the Fairies’.

We thought this might be of interest as the book is based on the previously unpublished autobiography of modernist sculptor, Ola Cohn, creator of the beloved Fairies’ Tree in Melbourne’s Fitzroy Gardens.

See the following link for more information:

Please feel free to forward this on to your colleagues, friends and the sculpture community.

Kind regards

Extracts from the Toorak Sculpture Festival read: "During the entire month of May and 2 weeks of June, Toorak Village exhibits contemporary sculptural works in the shop windows and on the sidewalks of Toorak Road, Toorak Village.

This will be the 13th year of the exhibition where 99 artists display their sculptures in Toorak Village shop windows with large sculptures bolted to the sidewalks of Toorak Road. These will compliment the 5 permanent sculptures purchased by the Toorak Village businesses from previous shows. Toorak Village is between Wallace Ave and Grange Road, just east of Williams Road, simply catch the No 8 Tram from Federation Square, along Toorak Road to stop no 35. "

The permanent outside works by Rudi Jass, Julie Anderson, Michael Moore, Dean Putting, and last years purchase by the TVTA "Hare Totem" by Anthony Vanderzweep, have become a focus for this vibrant busy shopping centre that lies in the very heart of Toorak....."

A few of our members are exhibiting - amongst them: Jenny Whiteside, Pimpisa Tinpalit, Lawrence Marshall, Christopher Taylor, Rudi Jass, Michael Meszaros, Ken Free and Annie Glass to name a few...

The Jindivick Travelling Show
from Grahame Duell, Curator

 
Habitat by Megan Puls
The Jindivick leg of the ‘Travelling’ show has now closed, with 10 pieces relocated to Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort for display in the ski fields until 15 June. With 47 entries, 11 sales so far to the value of a tad over $15000 plus cash prizes of $1000, the show has been a great success with sculptors and the very large number of visitors. Major winners are: Don Barrett: Baw Baw Shire Acquisition, David Doyle: Nangara and Jindivick Community Garden Acquisitions, Megan Puls: Best use of Traditional Materials, Pimpisa Tinpalit: Best Use of New Materials

The show will be on again next year from May 9 to 24th, and the travelling component will include periods on Mt Baw Baw and Wonthaggi in South Gippsland.

The show has a Facebook page www.facebook.com/jindivicksculpture which has attracted high levels of comment and interaction, and expanded the reach of the show to an additional 5000 people.
