ROBERTSON PARK STUDIO 2001 NEWSLETTER
EXHIBITIONS
Three of the Studio artists: Carol Rowling, Victoria Nadas and Graham Hay collaborated on a successful exhibition of new sculpture and paintings at the new Exhibitionist Gallery of Art, 4 Blake Street, North Perth which Opened on Sunday 8 April, 2.00 pm. It ran 6 - 22 April. Hours: Wed-Sat 10-4 pm, Sun 12.30-4 pm (closed Good Friday). The exhibition was kindly sponsored by local firms Blake's café and Mark Rayner and Associates.
Also during 2001, Graham exhibited ceramics in Wales and paper sculpture at the Craft Council in London. He also gave a paperclay demonstration in front of an audience of 800 in Wales and presented papers at a Symposium in London and a conference in Queensland. This year he has already been invited to exhibit at the Holland Paper Biennial at the Museum Rijswijk, the Red Hot Fibre exhibition at the Redcliffe City Art Gallery (NSW) and the Sydney Teapot exhibition at the Inner City Clayworkers Gallery.
STUDIO OPEN DAY
With Victoria's pending departure it was felt that a large studio exhibition would be too rushed. Therefore a very relaxed and successful Open Day was held in October 2001 which attracted over 200 local people. It was advertised in the weekend "West" and photocopy invites were placed in letterboxes in the surrounding streets. It provided a great opportunity for those wondering what was going on in "that Hall in the Park" and for other artists to drop by for a cuppa and yarn.
Just prior to the Open Day the Town of Vincent painted the whole building in lighter colours selected by us, making it an even more pleasant environment for learning about and creating art. We also added a large orange "ART" sign on the front window.
OTHER NEWS
Frances Dennis participated in our 2001 Open Day and is currently concentrating on building up a body of work for exhibition. She has also been invited to give a talk on sculpture and its relationship to the 2D at the Watercolour Society in February this year.
