Exhibition Opens July 13th
Printmaker Gallery is proud to present its inaugural annual group exhibition, The Forest, featuring over 30 local and interstate artists, each with their own unique representation of a tree. The gallery will be transformed into a forest in an effort to raise awareness and funds for Environment Victoria.
Within the context of worldwide growing concern about the environment and climate change, this exhibition sets outs to stimulate dialogue about the relationship between the artist and the natural world. The Forest aims to demonstrate how the experience, knowledge and practice of artists, including scientific, social and cultural issues, are woven through contemporary printmaking.
Our opening night will feature Greg Foyster, Communications Manager for Environment Victoria who will give a short presentation. Greg is a widely published journalist and an alumnus of the Centre for Sustainability Leadership. He has presented on environmental issues and at writer’s festivals throughout Australia. Greg was featured in The Age as one of their ‘Top 100’ inspiring and influential Melbournians of 2012.
