First Exhibition in the 2018 festival

The Festival launched and the ASV opened on Herring Island on 13th January - the weather was kind and the rain held off until the opening formalities were over.


Guests were greeted by the one man band Uptown Brown - he really lifted the energy of the event.




Speakers at the launch were Robert Lee, coordinator of HISAF, Gillian Govan, Immediate Past President of the ASV and CEO of Parks Victoria, Chris Hardman.

The title of this show "Meander" inspired some of the artists in their work - for others meander was a reflection of their career path. However it impinged, the island encourages everyone to meander amongst the works in the gallery, the sculpture placed around the island and the restored "natural" bushland the result of work by the Friends of Herring Island and Parks Victoria.


Images of the works in the exhibition can be seen here.
