The opening will be on Friday 29 August by Dr J Patrick Greene OBE, CEO of Museum Victoria.

The judges for the Tina Wentcher Sculpture Prize are Geoffrey Bartlett, Mark Cowie and Gillian Govan President ASV

Sitting the exhibition will be tricky for those with weekdays employment so please plan ahead for it. One of the advantages of an artist run exhibiton is that it is sat by the artists who made the work and who know the most about it. Any member who can’t exhibit this year but is willing to help with the sitting duties should contact Aleida Wright who can tell you - later after the entries are in - where the gaps are.



Because we are in a buillding in the city, badly built or unpainted plinths are going to stand out like.... well we don’t want them to. Gillian Govan has spare plinths - just need collecting and a coat of paint, Andrew Bryant is getting prices on building new plinths - and holding a workshop at his studio to assemble them, plenty more people can help so keep us in contact with your offers and needs and we’ll try to match them up.



It is not too late to put your hand up to help! There are lots of jobs that can be shared - in social media and publicity generally, helping at set up, advice on building really good plinths - don’t forget a fresh coat of white paint!
Contact any committee member with suggestions and offers of help.
