Great South Professional Artists Group, or Something More Sexy!

I'm baaack! I've just returned from a fantastic voyage to the USA and Canada, where I had the great privilege of exploring The Chicago Art Institute, the 2nd largest collection of art in the USA. We had an interesting tour around the Great Lakes investigating the movement of ships through the Great Lakes locks and shipping systems.

And, now I'm full steam ahead into two projects near and dear to my heart. I'm in studio finishing "Ephemeral Perception" my solo exhibition in 2010 at ArtSouth in Gore. The other is an initiative I've begun with other professional artists in the Great South of New Zealand which aims to raise the profile of our professional artists and the awareness of contemporary arts practices here. I've named us Great South Professional Artists Group (GSPAG, until someone comes up with something sexier). You are invited to read the Southland Times Article published Friday 6th November about our efforts in this initiative by clicking here.

I'm looking to recruit from that group some artists that will help me post reviews of shows in the Great South either on this blog or one to be created. So, stay tuned for greater developments.

Kia Ora!
