IAVA @ University of Wollongong


IAVA has  the opportunity to exhibit at UOW thanks to an approach made by Diana. The Uni has advised: ...IAVA is booked into the March slot for the TAEM (The School of Arts English and Media ) Gallery 2020 on the proviso that dates are a bit fluid until the Faculty is certain of its 2020 program...

This is a great opportunity for IAVA members. We'll be keen to roll out some small-group workshops to develop ideas and responses for the show. More details as they come to hand.

UPCOMING SOLO EXHIBITION: WE CAN FLY

Now she’s ready to show the world, and her exhibition We can fly is ready for take-off.

Congratulations Libby! The scholarship award was a great way for your talent and skill to be recognised and IAVA salutes you.  We look forward now to seeing the fruits of your labours.

We can fly will open Saturday 9 March at 6pm at The Village, 160 Shellharbour Road Port Kembla.
