The Basketmakers finally had a full weekend to show their work - and wasn't it wonderful! So now you have another exhibition to visit! Here is the information from the Contemporary Art Society - and watch this space for images!
We would like to extend an invitation to you, and all art lovers, and lovers of nature, to visit our eighth Contemporary by Nature: An interpretation of the natural world, an art exhibition by members of Melbourne's own Contemporary Art Society of Victoria. It's part of the 2014 Herring Island Summer Arts Festival and opens Next Saturday!
Do join us for drinks at the opening of our art show THIS Saturday 22 February, 12 noon to 2pm, in the Herring Island Gallery. If you can't make it to the opening, our show is open each weekend till Labour Day, Monday 10 March - we'd love to see you, and we're sure you'll love this year's show! Gallery open: 11.30am - 4.30pm. Note: access to the island is from Como Landing South Yarra via the Parks Victoria Punt service (during gallery hours).Contemporary by Nature 2014 will
include sculptures in forged steel and found objects, sculptures in
precious metals and stones, oil and acrylic paintings on various
surfaces, drawings and prints in numerous media, photographic and mixed
media works, all interpreting aspects of nature in very different ways.
Be it animal, vegetable or mineral, land or sea, storm or calm, night or
day, light or shadow, there will be something to delight the eye, the
senses, the imagination. Come and enjoy ....
More info....Herring Island is in the middle of the Yarra River, just 3km from the city. The Herring Island Park
is a haven for nature and art lovers alike. The exhibition will be held
in the gallery on the island. There are several permanent sculptures
made from natural materials that reflect the island's tranquil setting.Access to Herring Island is by the Parks Victoria punt service from Como Landing
(Melways ref Map 58, G2) and the service operates between 11am and 5pm.
Punt charges: $2 per person or $5 per family, with pensioners,
unemployed and children under 12 free. Car parking is available in
Alexandra Ave.
In this exhibition, both established and emerging
contemporary artists have explored aspects of nature, in a wide range of
artistic media! Each day of the exhibition a different exhibiting
artist will be "on duty" at the gallery. A great opportunity for you to
ask questions about their artwork, and inspiration behind the work.
All images from the exhibition will be on the CAS website at the conclusion of the exhibition. And get updates about all shows on the Island from the Herring Island Summer Arts Festival website.
