MEMBERS OF SCULPTURE TASMANIA
MoST
Sculpture Tasmania Inc. plays a vital role in the cultural and social life of Tasmania by building upon the understanding and recognition of the important and beneficial role sculpture plays in its community. Our dynamic and dedicated friends come from a diverse range of backgrounds and give their time generously to support artists, encourage the community’s enjoyment of sculpture as well as to help them connect with events.
The aim of SCULPTURE TASMANIA Inc. is to exhibit and promote sculptural practice in Tasmania as well as to exhibit and expose greater state and national arts practice to the local arts community.
Chairperson Sculpture Tasmania Inc Report 2023
The 2022 year ended on a high note with the quirky Ross Tin Can Sculpture Show which encompassed the main street of Ross for two weeks. Curator Ella Boas was delighted with the diverse entries which bought the Thistle Inn Stable Gallery to life along with the involvement of the business house who joined in the celebration by decorating their shop fronts with creative sculptures designed in Ross and further afield.
I would like to announce, with sadness, our secretary Mhairi Revie has resigned from the board due to commitments interstate. The board would like to hear from any member willing to fill the vacancy of secretary and join our vibrant and congenial board.
The new board is pleased to announce the introduction of MoST HoST in 2023, a series of gatherings for Members and Friends to be held on the last Thursday of each month. Please add these dates to your diary.
