Annual General Meeting and Networking Function
20 September
Our AGM and networking function on 20 September at the wonderful new Falcon E-Library was a great night enjoyed by all who attended.
Many thanks to Alasdair Wardle for his assistance in arranging for ACP to hold the meeting at Library and for his informative tour of the facility.
Maggie Baxter fascinated the group with her presentation and we could have listened to her for much longer than was possible. Alongside her work as an Arts Coordinator and independent Curator, Maggie maintains her own arts practice with an emphasis on textiles, calligraphic drawing, collage, and installation. She has travelled to India on a regular basis to work since 1999 and has developed a distinctive amalgamation of contemporary art with the endless possibilities of the weaving, block printing and embroidery found in traditional Indian textiles. Maggie enthralled the meeting with her presentation and samples of her beautiful work.
Jane Tillson retired from the Board at the Meeting and was thanked for all her excellent work as Secretary.
The following Officers were re-appointed: Barbara Powell - Chair, Anne Bennetts - Vice-Chair and Deb Hay - Treasurer.
Two Board vacancies remain and we need a Secretary. Anyone interested in either position is welcome to contact Elaine Fisk on 9581 4407 for more information.
Finally, congratulations to the raffle winners:
