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!

President's Letter for November and December

Hi All,

Welcome to the November / December newsletter like all of us Jenny is busy so a combined newsletter is coming your way. Even so it contains all you need to know about coming exhibitions and events and so much more.

I have recently spent an interesting enjoyable weekend in Hobart. The main purpose was to visit MONA (Museum of New and Modern Art). What an experience!

Letter from a Member

I joined ASV in January 2013 and have been mightily impressed by the collective talent amongst members coupled with the diverse range of styles and media in the exhibited works. My first ASV exhibition as a participant was at the Kinross Arts Centre and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience: no sales but heaps of positive feedback and I enjoyed spending time chatting with the exhibition curator, Monica Mauer Jan, and our hard-working President, Gillian Govan.
