Works are ready to be shipped by road to Milan for the event on 24 October. Around 20 works will be on show at the home of Tim Gauci. The invitations have gone out this week and there is a strong guest list of 50 people plus partners.
The Private Gallery Exhibition in Spoleto commenced on 12th October with the official opening being on 27th October. The Exhibition includes works from Lockhart River and textiles from Better World Arts. This is a great collaboration with a private gallery Poli d’Arte owned by an Italian sculptor Anna Maria Polidori, who is a highly regarded artist living in Rome and with her Gallery in Spoleto. As part of the ongoing introduction of indigenous Australian art to the Italian environment, Anna Maria is arranging for the work to be reviewed by an art critic for the leading newspaper here “Messagero”.
See the photos of the works splendidly displayed in the Gallery.
I have had an invitation to speak as a guest Lecturer at Florence University and this is a wonderful opportunity to educate younger Italians about the Australian indigenous art.
There has been an invitation for an artist to create an artwork at the leading four star hotel in Spoleto.
Lockhart River Art Centre has donated a painting to the Comune di Spoleto as the beginning of an indigenous contemporary art collection here in Spoleto.
While we are introducing Australian Indigenous Art to Italy, the Our Way Exhibition is being opened in New York. You can find details of this Exhibition at www.maynecentre.uq.edu.au-index.mdi
