A(nother) short note from the President

I am looking forward to an exciting new year for us all in the sculpting community. The Herring Island Summer Festival is about to be launched, Melbourne international Flower and Garden Show following closely in March and then our Annual and Awards followed by Tesselar exhibition. These are our own exhibitions, but Jenny Rickards is keeping us up to date with opportunities around the state in our monthly news letter. I am looking forward to working with your new committee and have been fortunate to receive quite a few offers of help to keep things running smoothly. Thank you , Good luck and a very happy New Year to all

Herring Island Summer Arts Festival

2016 starts with the usual fanfare:

Herring Island 16 to 31 January 2016 including an event on Australia Day. Entries closed for this on 4th December and we had fielded a flurry of late entries - all as usual - and it promises to be a great show. Everyone is welcome to take an hour or a day a day on the island talking to really interesting people, relaxing in a bush environment and surrounded by sculpture. And if you can help demonstrate or sit? Great! Call Jenny 0418 971 897
