Over the weekend of the 12-14th November In excess of 2000 visitors a day are expected to attend the Archibald Prize at the Gippsland Gallery, Port of Sale. With the excitement of our pending release from restrictions the Victorian Sculpture prize, supported by Wellington Shire Council will be held over what is nearly the final weekend ensuring both Metro and Regional Artists can enter and attend the event.
It has been so difficult not being able to shop for materials, take work to foundries, and exhibit in non ASV exhibitions but we are just keeping our fingers crossed for next year. We have booked the Victorian Artists Society Gallery for 2022 for 3 weeks starting Wednesday 8th June to Tues 28th June.
My other good news is that following Aukje’s letter in the last newsletter we have been fortunate to receive offers from four of our members to become part of the Presidential team. I am looking forward to working with them and handing over the reins.
As I write this I am also getting some good news from Gavin Roberts re Victorian Sculpture Prize in Sale.

I
can’t believe that it has been two years that we have been unable to
hold an exhibition at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show
(MIFGS).
IMG is committed to running MIFGS next year and are currently proceeding with all the planning to have a COVID safe event. The dates for the show are 30th March to the 3rd of April 2022.
Probably this is not the only exhibition on offer... just what the editor's addled brain was able to register.

Lots of news here and well worth checking all the articles contributed by members - enjoy -
I have many kg of 'slightly used' monster clay and other sculpting materials for sale. Half price Monster Clay... Who could resist? Loved the stuff... No longer sculpting. Hope someone can use it.
