Firstly, thank you for supporting Art on The Hill. The quality of the work was of a very high standard and the diversity of media and styles brought a beautiful dynamic to the exhibition.
It was interesting doing the bump-in in the dark. It was the first time for me, and I really appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation. It was great to walk in on Wednesday morning and see everything lit up.
There were 62 works from 24 artists, including 44 sculptures and 18, 2-D works.
Paul Cacioli
Last year I mentioned the sight impaired man who visited Art on the Hill and touched some selected sculptures with his delicate finger tips.
Allen returned this year and has described how each sculpture seemed to him. How interesting to describe sculptures without seeing them, as we all take that for granted.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like not to be able to see and appreciate art? Allen knows. He is sight impaired and has not been allowed to touch sculpture in galleries. We gave him the opportunity to enjoy the sculpture in "ART ON THE HILL" exhibition. For two years he has been accompanied by Paul who has described the art and when possible Allen has been able to touch it and describe his impressions. A great experience for him and wonderful for us to give him the opportunity.
Allen is happy to meet with us and talk about his time with us and how he sees art.
1:30pm 15th October Allen, the sight impaired art enthusiast, will talk about his art experiences.
Held at Paul Cacioli’s house: 2 Jalna Crt Eltham. RSVP Carmel before 14th pleasePlease watch for an email reminding you
