President's Letter and Editor's Quote for January 2024

Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump. Auguste Rodin

Happy New Year one and all!

The celebrations for our exhibition in the Pavilion at McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery went very well.

Placing 69 sculptures in the exhibition was a challenge but the layout looked great and was negotiable with an electric wheelchair. The pavilion opens to the ground with big windows - giving us natural light and access to the rest of the sculpture park.

Social Media Update

The Social Media team has been very busy with promoting ASV shows and calls for artists. But, did you know we are very happy to promote any information, and any image you provide, to promote you personally, or exhibitions/ open studios you are in??

Social Media is a way to get information out for free, to a wide public. The more interesting our page is, the more people will follow us - so it is good for the ASV to promote ALL our artists. And it’s good for you to promote yourself, your art, or your shows…

Eltham Rotary Sculpture Show

Email from Brenda Ibels: “ I am the art convenor for the Eltham Art Show. This year 2024 we are displaying a 3D exhibition only. The categories are Sculpture, Ceramics, Glass, Jewellery and Woodwork. We would like to invite your Melbourne based artists to submit their pieces for exhibition in the show. The show is selective with emphasis on the best quality works. Works must be able to be exhibited on a plinth (not hung, as designated as a 2D work). The exhibition is for a period of four days 15th - 18th August 2024. Held at the Eltham Community and Reception Centre. All works must be for sale.
