HIP Print Sale 2005
In May the Hunter Island Press print sale was held at the Sidespace Gallery with an opening by Lyn Uptin of Arts Tasmania and its success was easily measured by the crowd of people there and constant line to the sales counter! The display was fantastic with an ever changing print selection as purchased prints were replaced by new ones from the pile waiting to be hung up, with excess of 500 prints altogether. It was straight out good fun to watch the new ones popping up and scout around to see what had changed around the boards.
Of course at the end of the day it was a winner for the artists and organisers as raising funds for a community studio was the primary objective. The Sidespace Gallery is a part of the Salamanca Arts Center in Hobart and an excellent venue for the event. The prints were all $20, a bargain in anyones language with half the sale going to the artist and half to HIP. It was a great success with approximately 700 visitors to the exhibition and the sale of 216 mini-prints. We expect that this will become an annual event.
