This is the first edition of the new format BIA News. We hope that the change to PHPList will increase the number of people able to successfully receive news emails. The default for all users has now been set to receive this html newsletter. If you would prefer to receive the previously sent 'text only' version please update your preferences.

Join us at the opening of ‘Less is More’ at 6.30 PM on Friday 8 August, ‘Less is More’, is a selection of work from the semester student exhibition. This exhibition of selected work can now be enjoyed spaciously installed in the quiet of gallery Nona. This is in striking contrast to the highly successful semester exhibition which featured hundreds of pieces of work providing a busy spectacle for over four hundred visitors on the opening night.

Also not to be missed is the installation of a range of perspex pieces by Wim de Vos. Although, semester 2 is now well underway and enrolments are closed, details of the Spring workshop program will be available from the end of August. If you enjoy Wim’s work, he will be conducting a perspex construction workshop as part of the Spring program in October.

BUILDING PROJECT
In addition to notification of new exhibitions and information about the classes and workshops, News is a great vehicle to let you know about other activities initiated by the BIA Committee. The Committee, led by Linda Back has received a Brisbane City Council grant to install building signage, conduct a mosaic project and create outdoor sculpture. The building signage is now in place and with the future addition of the mosaic and 3D work, the facility will soon start to show more creative art character.
