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.

Where is our next Treasurer coming from?

Our current treasurer, John Ride, is a lovely person - he shares friendship, food and wine and conversation at committee meetings and keeps calm through all our exhibitions. John joined us after retiring more than ten years ago. He was not an accountant - why on earth would someone “leave off work to carry bricks”? But he has developed all the skills we need using MYOB and so we know where we stand financially.

We have grown a lot on John’s watch - from two exhibitions per year to four in some years; our website goes through expansion and refurbishment - think of the leap to online exhibitions that we managed due to COVID lockdowns; our membership management is currently undergoing some streamlining with the new website; so on a small budget Sculptors Victoria is flourishing.

The time has come for John to move on…. He’s now a life member so I’m still hoping to see him at meetings and at exhibitions… but we need to relieve him of the main work of treasurer.

The new person can be a sculptor or a non-sculptor member. The position is a voluntary one but we do our best to make it fun and rewarding in the exercise of new skills and the guidance of our worthwhile Association.
