Mar 2014 - Sculptors Queensland

March 2014
Vice-President’s message:
I would like firstly to say how much we all appreciate the fantastic job
Peter Steller has done as President of SQ in the last two years. He
made a huge contribution to the SQ organisation by encouraging
members to become involved and by putting in place many positive
changes, such as upgrading our equipment, applying for grants to further promote sculpture and by enthusiastically organising a second
major exhibition for SQ members at Waterfront Place in November last
year.
Constitutionally, after two years, Peter is no longer able to hold the
position of President, and as no-one has stepped forward to take up that role , we,
(myself in the role of Vice President, with Peter’s assistance as ‘acting President’) with
the very positive support of our wonderful committee members, will endeavour to steer
SQ through another interesting and successful year.
We would like to welcome our two new committee members, Tracy Beachell and Jane
Prasser. We look forward to their involvement & contribution to help SQ grow.
The dates of the annual Shillam Mt Coot-tha exhibition are: July 4th – 13th, which will
require more input from members but will allow much greater exposure, with the exhibition being held for 9 days rather than 2. As last year’s opening night was such a success, we plan to hold another Gala evening on Friday 4th July, so we hope that members
will again invite many of their friends & lovers of art!
The prizes this year will be for indoor & outdoor work combined:
1st: Shillam Prize, $2000,
2nd: Perides Foundry prize $1000,
3rd: Chalkos Foundry prize $500 worth
of foundry work

Harbour Sculpture
We are a group of volunteers running this not-for-profit
organisation to showcase contemporary Australian sculpture
through an exhibition on the Sydney Harbour foreshore. The
exhibition will be held from 17-27 July 2014 and follows on
from our very successful event in 2013.
13A 23 James Street,
Fortitude Valley
Phone: 3852 5069
Email: [email protected]
In 2013, HarbourSculpture exhibited 75 works, which were
viewed by around 5,000 people. Over 35% of these works were
sold. This year, our major sponsor Deckhouse has doubled the
internal exhibition space to showcase the talents of sculptors
working on a smaller scale. We are also very excited about the
external exhibition which has the magnificent Sydney Harbour
as its backdrop.
Anthony Bond OAM will curate and judge the exhibition, and
will be assisted this year by Macushla Robinson, Assistant Curator of Contemporary International Art at the Art Gallery of
NSW.
Through generous sponsorship, we are offering a $5,000 prize
for the best external work and $2,00 for the best internal work.
Entries close on Monday 17 March and we are having an open
day for potential entrants on Monday March 3 to answer any
questions or to assist with the lodgement of entries.
We are hoping that you will promote the exhibition to your
staff, artists, clients and students as widely as possible to encourage their involvement in the event.
