Artist's Voice

In December 2007 I submitted a selection of my artwork to be viewed by the Artist’s Voice Group in an effort to join the group. I was successful in my application. So far I have exhibited in each of the group’s exhibitions, showing between two and five works each time.

“The Artist's Voice was founded in 1997 when a group of local artists met representatives of the Mount Barker Council. The aim of the first meeting was to provide opportunities for artists to share resources and to support each other.

The group's first success came with its involvement with the inaugural Heysen Festival in Hahndorf also in 1997. Since then the group has had a close association with the Hahndorf Academy where it holds regular exhibitions and meetings.

Between six and eight group exhibitions are held each year. Some are thematic while others are linked with recognized events such as SALA, Adelaide Festival of Arts, the Fringe or the Heysen Festival.

Opportunities also exist for members to mount solo or small group exhibitions. Our exhibitions include painting, drawing, sculpture and print making in a variety of media and styles.” From - http://hahndorf.soho.on.net/hahnwiki/TheArtistsVoice
