Deep in the Forest by Jacinta Leitch

I'd like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to the 43 sculptors who created spectacular art for our annual exhibition, "Who's Your Muse?" xxxx
Thanks to all who gallery sat and to our committee that helped with the opening, as well as setting up and packing away this huge exhibition! I have heard many times, that people feel this was our "best exhibition ever!!!!!" This has come from sculptors and members of the public.
We have had a number of new members join us, and they all feel very welcomed and happy to be part of our group, so congratulations all round xx
We were very excited to have 17 sales (including one of our Geelong Sculptor's books)

Writer's Event 2019
​It has become very apparant to me how important it is for groups like us to exist.
To offer the opportunity to like minded people to belong to our community of creative souls is a blessing for all involved......this was proven once again with our writer's event.
We had around 8 writers read their words inspired by our exhibition and our group!
It was a magical afternoon, and if you missed it, we have captured some of the works on our website x
