Upcoming ASV exhibitions

Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show 26 to 30 March 2014

Working on such a large exhibition is quite a team effort - Mark has agreed to help guide the show and we need a team of helpers to put this together - if you can help in some way - great or small - get in touch with Mark on asv_mifgs@sculptorsvictoria.asn.au

Entry forms have been posted out and are also available from the ASV website. Entries can be made online through http://sculperenewsletter.blogspot.com.au/p/mif-2014.html NOT through the form on the ASV website which is still acting up a bit.

Entries close on 28th February 2014

The ASV on Herring Island

The Show looks great and the opening was suitably celebrated as the start of the Herring Island Summer Arts Festival 2014.

We set up from the Burnley depot - Como landing wasn't quite ready for us.

Not only was the ASV the first exhibition of the Festival - we saw the first punt operation of the summer:



The first punt service of this summer come to take us to the start of the Festival

Councillor John Chandler of Stonnington Council launched the festival in fine style and then celebrated with us.

The work has been photographed for the record - there's more on the website but here is a taste: if the plug doesn't work try Picasa web albums,

and of course since it's sculpture you'll need to be there to see it properly - the show closes on 27th January so plan your trip!
