There’s a lot to be said about the generosity of people, in particular artists. This cause is no exception. This weekend only will be an auction of premium works by 22 photographers. Among those who have donated works are Pat Brassington, Mark Kimber, Belinda Mason, William Yang, Bonita Ely, Luke Hardy, Bob Kersey, Peter Solness, Zorica Purlija.

This is themajor fundraising event for Life Force Cancer Foundation, a Sydney based non-profit organisation founded in 1993 that provides a range of programs to aid people dealing with the emotional and psycho-social impact of living with cancer.

There is a separate silent auction of jewellery and fabrics on the day as well as live music performances and events throughout the afternoon.

Organisations like this can only help others through your generosity of spirit so we urge you to come out and enjoy the day, visit the artworks and settle in for an afternoon of celebration of life.

Coming soon, Spring 2013 – group collection and Isolations – David Knight

Somehow we’ve found the time to visit these two exhibitions situated in Danks Street, Waterloo and with powerful images in both, each deserves their own review. So that being said, in the next 24 hours we hope to post our review on each.

Stay tuned.

8 fantastic points of view from ‘Impressions of 8’ artists in Richmond

Last evening I had the pleasure of attending the opening night for Impressions of 8, a photographic exhibition by 8 local photographers. I thought I’d get there early to look around the images in an uncrowded room but on arrival I found the room already buzzing with the chatter of many people.

I (and everyone else) was graciously met by one of the artists, Barbara Glover, who handed me a catalogue, gave me the rundown and dispatched me into the foray with efficient ease.

The images by photographers; Jennifer Bailey, Bob Cook, Paula Cook, Annette Ferris, Barbara Glover, Tanya Heather, John Hingston and Rod Murphy feature a range of photography styles and interests which in no way detracted from the show. Travel and landscapes was a common theme among most of the works on show, with one notable exception in the work of Tanya Heather whom demonstrates exceptional skill with unusual portraits.

The quality of all the images evoke a timelessness and peace. I think they do exactly what photography should do in transporting you to wonder and appreciate the world at large. The exhibition was opened by Jacqui Dean who did a wonderful job and sung high praises for all involved.

The works are for sale and all exceptionally well priced and would make great gifts with Christmas just around the corner.

This exhibition is definitely a hit and not to be missed. Visit their Facebook Page for further details, but be quick to get there as its only on this weekend!

The exhibition is currently on in the Murray Wing of Richmond School of Arts, 26 W Market Street Richmond, and is open this weekend only from 9am to 5pm on Saturday 26th October and 10am to 4pm on Sunday 27th October 2013.

Have to start somewhere

Phew, about the hardest thing in getting this up and running today was deciding on the theme to use. So I’m going to see how it goes and we’ll change over if this chosen theme becomes a problem.

all constructive feedback appreciated 🙂
