The Art Screen Crew together with Calvin Bell and Elizabeth Thompson of Provenance Artists Inc |
On Thursday 22nd April, eight volunteers from the Rotary Club of Berwick delivered a large number of our Art Screens to Nossal High School, to be used in the Haval Great Art Show. The delivery required two trailers, which were towed by Laury Gordyn and Gary Evans. The Rotarians then set up the screens to meet a floor plan drawn up by the organisers that also required sufficient space to accommodate a Grand Piano.
It was terrific to see our prospective member David Anderson turn up to assist with the delivery and layout of the screens.
This event is sponsored by Berwick Motor Group’s Haval dealership and will be held over the weekend of Friday 23rd – Sunday 25th April. It is the 21st major show organised by Provenance Artists Inc, which is a not-for-profit society of artists from the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire.
Calvin Bell from Provenance Artist Inc proudly informed us that 'The Great Art Show' is now the largest art show in the South East and it features amazing pieces from leading Victorian and interstate artists. This year’s exhibition will also feature paintings from the 'Lest We Forget – Vietnam' exhibition, which includes a collection of 30 paintings of Vietnam veterans and their memories of the war.
The crew will dismantle the Art Screens at 9:30am on Tuesday 26th April and return them to 'The Shed'. If you are available to assist on Tuesday, please let PP Gus Dominguez know, as he is the Art Screen Hire Coordinator.
