Herring Island Summer Arts Festival 2011

By now members will know that the ASV supports the Herring Island Summer Arts Festival as a regular event – in 2011 we will not only participate but we will be the lead exhibition - starting January 15th and running until January 30th. This will include Australia Day – so we have plenty of opportunity to maximise publicity and visitor numbers and also the responsibility to put on a great show.

There will be a formal opening this time as befits the launch of the festival – I'm in the process of finding an opener – no small task for January. There will be floor talks and demonstrations – all opportunities for you to shine.

Not everyone will be around for the set up – we need to share the task of bringing the work in and placing it to best advantage – so please don't refrain from exhibiting just because you will be away for the first weekend – we'll all help each other to get the show “on the road” - and if you can help at that time – even if you won't exhibit - your help will be appreciated and remember we usually have a lot of fun on the island – a bush holiday in the city.

Watch for the entry forms towards the end of October – see you on the island
