Earlier this month we were privileged to visit Dean Bowen in his magnificent studio - he has a gallery space fronting the street, working spaces for his sculpture, painting and printmaking and storage for everything.
Thanks to Paul for organising this visit - if you have an idea for a visit, activity, workshop or a discussion we could have in a Zoom meeting please contact Gillian - after the Annual Exhibition - activities@sculptorsvictoria.asn.au
The Executive Committee has put out a tender for our new website. We will also be applying for a grant to pay for the website. This process is taking time, but we are close to a resolution. All being well we should be able to brief everyone about our progress at the June 1 committee meeting.
Also if anybody has any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us, just email or phone.
Cheers Bruce Webb on behalf of the EC 0431 492 720.
The ASV website has a simple function - it records all sculptures exhibited with us. From this pool the website can display works in individual exhibitions and/or works by individual sculptors.
During the past month our membership officer Anne Anderson welcomed the following new members: Suzanne Miles, Paul Jesse, Julie Lamont, Moz Moretti, Patti Beerems and Janice Whetton. Welcome! We look forward to meeting you and seeing your work in our exhibitions.
We have listed the ASV Office bearers on a page of the online newsletter at http://sculperenewsletter.blogspot.com/p/asv-office-bearers.html
