Set to go - Annual & Awards Exhibition 2021

Our Annual and Awards Exhibition at the building of the Victorian Artists Association is well into the planning stage. We have a venue, a date and the entry forms are now on our website with our terms and conditions. Please read these carefully as this is a different type of venue with its own logistics to manage. But it is a terrific gallery and unless your work is dangerous, obscene or too big to carry up the stairs or in the lift it will not be rejected by the gallery. It is still our prerogative to decide if we can accept works at the time of entry.

All information and entry forms are linked to https://sculptorsvictoria.asn.au/exhibitions/application_forms

Meetings & Workshops

Chris Anderson would like to invite members to his workshop on the 13th April, which is the bump in for the Kilmore Art Expo.  “The bump in is in the morning, so we could have an afternoon open workshop visit at my place, just 10 minutes out of Kilmore.  I have 183 acres of land and would be happy for members to come and explore the property looking for inspiration to their hearts content. I have 30 horses, lots of kangaroos, eagles, kookaburras, platypus, echidnas, sugar gliders, possums, bats, owls etc.  I will do a demonstration of my sculpture processes etc at 1 pm and we could even have a bonfire, pizza and wine night for who ever is still here for the sunset.  From my house on top of the hill we have a 360 degree view of the sunset.  Members are welcome to camp if they wish, and the night sky here is amazing because we are far enough from the city lights.”

The Kilmore Art Expo runs 16 to 18 April

Postponed: Mont Delancey “The Steel Brush Art Expo” Sculptures, Paintings and Blacksmithing Exhibition
