The Art Show Committee is working hard to make the 2022 Show a great success. Negotiations are progressing well with Swinburne. The Art Galleria online platform is continuing to be developed, all Operations, Marketing and Events planning is well advanced. It's all systems GO!
 
As a reminder, please ensure the following date are in your diaries. As in previous years, setting up and running the Camberwell Art Show is a "Whole of Club" project which requires literally 1000s of hours of volunteering, and it is expected that every Club Member will contribute their effort in some way toward a successful show. 
 
  • Bump In: Monday 20 June
  • Paintings Receive: Tuesday 21 June
  • Layout and Hanging: Wednesday 22 - Thursday 23 June (note our Wednesday Night Meeting will be held at Swinburne)
  • Finalise Hanging & Clean-up: Friday 24 June
  • Gala Opening: Friday 24 June
  • Show Open to Public: Saturday 25 June - Sunday 3 July
  • Paintings Hand-back: Sunday 3 July - Monday 4 July
  • Bump Out: Tuesday 5 July
The days marked in red are the days that require the most volunteers.
 
So I would like all members to assist with:
 
  1. Sponsorship: try and find Sponsorship opportunities within your social, business and local circles - I have recently sent the necessary Sponsorship Packages by email. Please put them to good use.
     
  2. Volunteering: make yourself available, and ask your partners and friends to assist, by volunteering to help, especially on those "high demand" days in red. A "non-availability" form will be circulated soon, and from that, a detailed Volunteer Signup List will be developed.
Remember, a financially successful show is needed to provide much-needed funds to our Service Committees - we have had two years of restricted fund-raising, resulting in cancelled or cut-back community support projects, both locally and internationally. 
 
I am sure everyone is looking forward to a successful 2022 Camberwell Art Show so we can "do good in the world" at a level similar to pre-pandemic years.  I ask you for your on-going support.
