December Letter from the President

Our end of year celebration was a great success - we gathered for the first time in a couple of years and Jon Eiseman gave us a talk that was long promised and long postponed due to one thing and another - some Covid thing I believe. Jude Bridges-Tull (and Kerry) hosted the gathering and Gillian Govan welcomed us all - because Gillian has been promising us this talk for years. What an awesome Activities Team they make! And of course Jon’s talk was an inspiration - he took us into his making process, his philosophy and ideas - thank you Jon.

MIFGS 2023

Dear Sculptors,

Entries are open for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS) ASV sculpture exhibition for 2023. Planning has already commenced, and IMG are working hard to make it a bigger and better event. Our new site will be reconfigured to improve the demonstration area and better traffic flow.

Pamela Irving (Pamela Irving) has kindly agreed to be the judge for the exhibition. Pamela has been a full-time artist for over 30 years and is best known for her sculpture Larry La Trobe, her bronze dog sculpture, situated in front of the Melbourne Town Hall,

Herring Island

Herring Island

Entries have closed for the exhibition on Herring Island - we have forty works to show and the pre Christmas drop off was accomplished in fine weather and much camaraderie.

The gallery on Herring Island provides a venue for one of our indoor exhibitions and a great place to exhibit smaller works in an intimate space. The gallery courtyard is a great space for our hospitality and demonstration events. And most of all the bushland surrounding and the permanent collection of sculptures provides a relaxing networking opportunity for all of us.

Do please come and visit us on the island - it is a relaxing place and will give us time and space to talk to one another and exchange news and views.
