Tai Snaith’s upcoming exhibition ‘The best things in life aren’t thing’ is featured in the Melbourne Weekly. The article discusses Tai’s collaboration with eight talented Melbourne artists. Tai asked each of them to write about the one object they hold most dear, and has then drawn that object, sight unseen, based only on the writers’ descriptions. The show pairs the written descriptions with Tai’s evocative paintings.

Make sure to join us at the opening on Wednesday 29 June between 6 and 8pm. Several of the writers will be sharing their stories, and musical sensation PHIA will be playing. It promises to be a fantastic night.

Congratulations to Dr Marcel Cousins who was awarded his PhD in Fine Art from Tama Art University, Tokyo. This is an extraordinary achievement by Marcel, who received a sought after Monbukagakushou Scholarship to undertake his studies in Japan.
We are excited for Marcel’s upcoming show at the gallery ‘Chop Shop’ which opens on 10 August. It’s Marcel’s first exhibition in Australia in three years and showcases the incredible artworks he created for his PhD.
Carmel Seymour was recently awarded a sought after Australia Council ArtStart Grant, another well-deserved endorsement of Carmel’s talent and her practice.
Carmel will return to Iceland later this year to undertake a further residency there following her SimRes residency in Reykjavik run by the Association of the Icelandic Visual Arts.
The City of Stonnington has acquired three of Carly Fischer’s artworks for its Visual Art Collection.
The paper and foamcore works were featured in Carly’s successful exhibition at the gallery late last year, ‘I heard it from my friends about the things you said’, which coincided with her solo show at Gippsland Regional Gallery.
Congratulations to Abbey McCulloch on another sell out exhibition. ‘The Thunderheads’, which opens tonight, has had a fantastic response.
Abbey was identified as one of Australia’s ’50 Most Collectable Artists’ for the third year in a row by Australian Art Collector magazine earlier this year.
Tim Moore is featured in the current issue of Artist Profile magazine. Make sure to read Gillian Serisier’s fantastic feature which captures the delight and humour of Tim’s practice.
As Serisier says ‘In a world of hidden meaning and metaphor, it’s nice to know a dick is still a dick. Tim Moore’s work delights in the whimsy of dick jokes, sagging boobs and puns on pissing, which is fairly unusual given his chosen medium of embroidery on vintage Sicilian linen.’
