“Sculpture is an art of the open air. Daylight, sunlight, is necessary to it, and for me, its best setting and complement is nature.”Henry Moore
If I wanted to summarise the ASV activities for 2023 I would probably run you a repeat of the president’s report at the Annual General Meeting. To save you the pain of going over that I’ll post a sound file against the slide show in the November newsletter.
So, looking forward - we lead 2024 with the exhibition in the pavilion at McClelland Gallery. I’ve just experienced the selection panel reducing 105 entries to 69 sculptures to be exhibited! This harrowing experience reminds me of the salon des refusées back in the day.
So for anyone within visiting range of McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery - I’ll see you in January in the lovely, airy pavilion. Access is great - on grade from the carpark, with Harry’s café onsite, the whole sculpture park to explore and John Meade’s exhibition in the main galleries - inspiration and relaxation in one delightful offering. It’s no wonder we had such a great response to our call for entries.
Remember that entries are open for the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show already - we do have a great lineup of opportunities for 2024 - plus the fact that meetings and activities bring us together as friends and fellow sculptors - for mutual support, inspiration and a bit of laughter.
