Invitation - A prelude to Healing the Bay

This is an early invitation to local artist to prepare some works for a smaller preview of our larger Healing the Bay project that will be exhibited during the next St.Kilda festival. We are still working on the venue, (a cafe or restaurant preferred) and will announce this soon. Wall space may limit size of submission, so if you have special requirements get it quick so these can be considered.
The works can be paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures or any graphic media that focuses on some aspect of Healing the Bay. That work might highlight, issue or inspire action, warn of the consequences of inaction or just record the beauty of what we now have and need to preserve.
Email Mia or Norm to express your interest to participate, Submittal forms will be available here once a venue is confirmed.

Werribee Zoo - Christmas Celebration

Tuesday 29th November 2011

A Werribee Zoo outing was suggested by artists following our exhibition
"Endangered" earlier this year. As a celibration for all our good work so far we have organised a bus.lease.

Book now as there are limited places.

Costs will include between $3 to $5 for petrol and zoo entry fee which
is around $20. This will be a social outing connecting artists. We will stop for
lunch as well so bring a plate and we can have a picnic.

Will be a fun day!
Warmly Mia

Phaaa Healing the Bay

To inspire artistic concern for the health of Port Phillip Bay and in particular the coastal stretch of the City of Port Phillip, we plan to  hold an exhibition with the theme Healing the Bay. We are looking for works that can bring public insight and inspiration into the range of issues that are putting pressure on our bay, including but not limited to sea level rise, climate change, coastal development and sustainability.

The works can be paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures or any graphic media that focuses on some aspect of Healing the Bay. That work might highlight, issue or inspire action, warn of the consequences of inaction or just record the beauty of what we now have and need to preserve.

We aim to be able to provide a prize for the “most inconvenient artwork”,  that work that most inspires its viewers to be concerned for the health of the Bay.
