Hi all. If we are exhibiting at the show do we get free entry. I missed out on a place to volunteer and certainly want to see it

Thanks

Hey fellow creatives. I am an mixed media artist, working with recycled, natural and (sometimes) synthetic materials and mediums.

Hello

Hi everyone,

I've been a member of MAVA since it began but it's only now that I'm finding the mental space and energy to sort out my arts practice, write my bio and put some work up for sale.

I create mixed media collages using textiles, recycled fabrics, embroidery, paper photographs. I also do acrylic painting and craft needle felted figures. I recently joined the Naarm Textile Collective and have begun learning to make my own artist books.

A question: Could some please help me find an article on this site regarding how to write an artist bio and statement? I remember seeing something way back but I don't seem to be able to find it!

I look forward to getting to know our members more and being involved in the association.

😀

Thanks Peta 🙂!

Introducing myself

Hi all,

I'm Genèvre and I work in cardboard to make sculpture and installations, a recovering welder 😏, and currently enjoying creating in fabric to make unusual garments. Another line of work is running a few small businesses (to support the creative output ) in a creative props and display company, an arts studio manager in Brunswick, and also as a creative and small business coach.


I am keen to read your current challenges. The landscape has shifted so much since covid and the re-emergence of arts and culture events. To get the conversation started, I am keen to learn what are you seeking to achieve, and what is the main obstacle to making progress?

Welcome! Sounds like you have a very interesting combo with your creative practice and working lives. How has it been for you as an arts studio manager in Brunswick? I am interested to hear how they have been settling back in after being at home for so long over the last couple of years.


One of my main obstacles to making progress on my own practice is that with my current working situation I am doing at least 2 to 2 1/2 hours of commute driving per day. It means that my days are long and I lack energy when I get home. I work in a small gallery in the Yarra Valley. I have heard of some artists struggling to create because they are worried that their artwork won't sell and they are desperate to earn what they have lost over the last few years or that the economic climate is terrible. Have you heard anything similar?
