We are looking forward to the Annual & Awards Exhibition 2023 at the Victorian Artists Society galleries.

URGENT ASV MEDIA REQUEST

Our ASV society runs on volunteers. Therefore, when the need arises an urgent request is put out to the wonderful, creative artists in this group. Please help with social media. It’s not as formidable a task that it sounds. As Gillian wrote: Art lovers won’t come to the exhibition if they don’t know it is on. “ Social media support request…We are all excited for our annual and awards exhibition in the Victorian artists society this year- I am sure. To get as many visitors as we can- we need publicity. Social media is a fantastic way to promote our work, our exhibitions and get the news out to Art lovers out there. This year we are running into a small problem; I am away during the annual.
