On Wednesday afternoon, artisan hosted a fantastic gallery event for a delegation of 26 representatives from the
China Arts & Crafts Association, the official body for arts & crafts in China.
The event was designed for the Chinese delegation to view artisan's
current exhibitions and other local works for potential exhibition in China. Attendees also relished the opportunity to increase their understanding of arts programs in China and strengthen the relationship between Chinese and Australian arts & crafts.
Artists
Joanna Bone (glass works),
Cathy Keys (ceramicist), and
Matt Dwyer (jeweller) gave talks and the delegation members were presented with artist sample bags, catalogues from our exhibition
Desert Psychedelic: Jimmy Pike, and other takeaway arts & crafts goodies. A great time was had by all and thanks go out to everybody who attended and helped to make the afternoon such a success. The photographs below were taken during the event by artisan's Melinda Gagen.
