Lesley Clementson, the president of The Friends School Parents and Friends Association has enquired about the possibility of HIP artists being interested in donating work for their biennial Friends School auction. It is to be held at the Hobart Grand Chancellor on Friday 12 August, 2011.
Donated items appear in an internet-based catalogue prior to the event, as well as a printed catalogue on the night.
Artists can request a reserve price on their work(s); The auction attracts around 300 attendees. Lesley is aware of the type and quality of the work produced by HIP artists as she was one of the CSIRO scientists who took part in the Over the Edge collaboration last year.
If you would like to make a donation to the Friends School auction please contact Lesley at Lesley.Clementson@csiro.au or 0409 140 230.

Congratulations to Kaye Green for her recent win in the 2011 Community Printmakers of Murwillumbah National Print Awards . Kaye was awarded the Friends of the Tweed River Art Gallery $2000 Acquisitive Award for her lithographic print, “the thinker”.
Professor Sasha Grishin who judged the awards had this to say about his work as a judge, “Judging an art award is always a shortcut to unpopularity for the judge with righteous frustration expressed by the un-awarded competitors. To save you the breath, yes, you are right, the judge was wrong and a different result would have been obtained by another judge. Nevertheless here are the results”
and about Kaye’s work, “Kaye Green is one of the finest lithographers in the country, now based in Tasmania, who has created this icon of the mind of a tree. The more one contemplates on this image the more its contemplative Zen quality will open itself to the viewer. It may be a private quality that I admire within a print, but it is this ability to constantly feed and enrich the viewer over a prolonged period of time which is one of its most distinguishing features. A guarantee – the more you spend with this print, the more you will be enriched.”
