Our guest speaker was Stuart Purves, Director of Australian Galleries. Stuart spoke with enthusiasm about sculptors and sculpture - and about his sculpture park under development at Porcupine Ridge..

Welcome and thank you to new members

Welcome to Graeme Hardridge, Janine Clark and Ilona Herreiner
We look forward to meeting you and seeing your work in exhibitions. 
Monica Mauer Jan, Membership officer

And a thank you to Ilona who actually went through the sculptor profiles pages and let us know how many of you (27 in fact) have attempted to link your sculptor website to your ASV profile page and unfortunately not achieved the link. So what needs doing? Could everybody please check their weblink. If it isn’t working log into your details page and copy and paste the web address FROM YOUR BROWSER so that the address includes the http:// or https:// prefix. I think you will find that is all that is missing. We’ll ensure that the instructions are clear in the welcome letter in future so that new members don’t get caught in the same trap. 
Jenny Rickards, ASV website contact
