The Association of Sculptors of Victoria is an inclusive, not-for-profit collective of contemporary artists whose purpose is to inspire,stimulate and advance the appreciation, creation, and exploration of three-dimensional art in society.

We had a fantastic presentation afternoon on the 22nd and we wish to congratulate all the winners. Some of the works are pictured here but the exhibition continues until the 29th so you still have time to come and have a look.

Our judge Jason Waterhouse commented on the fact that it was a very difficult decision and as far as he is concerned everyone is a winner as the standard was so high. Again our major award winners received a beautiful medallion made by Michael Meszaros, thank you Michael for the medallions and for Judging.

I personally want to thank Jenny Rickards, Gillian Govan, Yvonne Monick, John Ride and Paul Cacioli for all their help and support, the exhibition would not have happened without them. Also a big thanks to Aukje and Jonathan for social media and media and to all the people who helped with bump in and out , the photography and presentation day.

Also a big thank you to our sponsors Mal Wood, Art Almanac, Dalchem and Kooyonga Creek Winery and to our two donors who make the prizes possible look

Thanks,

Heather Wilson and the committee.
