NOTES FROM THE COMMITTEE

OUT & ABOUT

AGM: About 40% of the current membership turned up to the Annual General Meeting in February. The previous AGM minutes were read out, followed by the President’s report (also in this newsletter). A very comprehensive Treasurers Report was presented followed by the election of a new committee.Members holding positions of President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary were all re-elected.The committee was returned with the addition of Olga Megele and Sharon Harrison. Morning tea was enjoyed by all attendees.

FTG NEWS: We sponsor an arts page in the local newspaper. The latest issue has a very good article by Teresa Canon on the Young @ Art and Street Art exhibitions.

CEMETERY TOUR: We hosted another successful cemetery tour which entails us serving drinks and nibbles before the attendees go on to the cemetery. This is a good fundraiser for us and if you’d like to help out with serving food and welcoming people please let us know. The next one is on 27th March (note that this replaces the pizza night which will be held on Friday 20th March).

SEED OF LIFE MARKET:Thank you to those members who came and chatted to visitors at the monthly market in February. The next one is on Saturday 21st March between 9am and 2pm just across the railway line from the Hut. If you can help out with an hour of your time to talk to people about our arts society, please contact Shirley.

The FTGAS held a watercolour demonstration by artist It Hao Pheh which

attracted a number of people eager to learn his methods

using the difficult medium of watercolour.

PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT

Hi everyone,I would like to welcome you all and thank you for your attendance as your presence is very much appreciated.A new year is upon us, workshops and exhibitions have recommenced and we are looking forward to a creatively productive year. The last twelve months at the FTGAS have been a busy time especially with the development of the sculpture garden and our 75th Anniversary a milestone to celebrate. Looking back, here’s some of the things we achieved in 2019:

Physical changes:Thanks to a grant from the Knox City Council, we bought three new flags and a banner as well as new signage for the large information sign at the front of the carpark.

The sculpture garden development was a major project, the first stage of which was to put a door in the gallery leading to the garden space. Despite a set-back of having to get a man in to cut through the 20cm thick concrete wall which runs around the gallery, a new door was installed. Many thanks to Andy Powell who did this for us at no charge.

The wonderful idea that the garden should commemorate people and groups who have made a significant contribution to the Ferntree Gully Arts Society over the past 75 years, was suggested by Rob Diss and brought to fruition in the design and creation of glass plaques by Sharon Harrison. The cost of the development was kept to budget due to sponsorship for the plinths, a grant from Knox City Council (for recycled plastic benches), fundraising, discounts and favours from various contacts and last but not least, the ideas, time, energy and effort of the sculpture garden committee. Thanks to Karen Cooper, Rob Diss, Sharon Harrison, Olga Megele, Sibylle Pulsford and Betty Vella.

Social: Apart from a couple of pizza evenings and our annual solstice and Christmas dinners, the highlight of the year was the 75th Anniversary party in August attended by about fifty people, followed by the opening of the sculpture garden in October with about eighty people. The weather was fine and the food delicious on both occasions.

In October twenty-two members and friends took a bus trip to the Archibald Exhibition in the Yarra Valley, visiting two other galleries along the way. It was a wonderful social outing and a fantastic day all round.

Workshops and classes: Workshops continue and are social, as well as creative, events. Two new watercolour classes have commenced and a couple of demonstrations are in the pipeline.Thanks to a grant from the Knox City Council, Glenda Guy and myself attended the Zart Art Teachers Conference in September. This is held annually and gave us an opportunity to learn about new products and techniques that we can use in the kids classes that we teach.

Promotion:The Ferntree Gully Arts Society again attended the Knox Festival in March. The attendance was down to 20% on last year due to the heat. This also appeared to affect the number of volunteers we had, which were 4 in total.In June we held an information and demonstration day at the Community Space at Knox City Shopping Centre.This was complemented by a window display of members’ artworks at the Riot Art store, which ran for the whole month. Thanks to Karen Cooper and John Dunne for organising these events.

From April, we had a monthly stand at the local Seed of Life market. Thank you to all those who came along to talk to people interested in knowing more about the arts society. This has resulted in a few more members for us and is a very low-cost way to promote our community group.

The President’s Annual Report was presented at the Annual General Meeting on Sunday 9th February and is printed here for all members.

This year we will be advertising our monthly exhibitions in the Art Almanac, which is in print and also online. The newsletter and membership application form are available to download from our website which is kept up to date with workshop and exhibition information.We continue our subscription to Eastern Community Radio and our arts page sponsorship in the Ferntree Gully News as well as articles in other local newspapers from time to time. Thank you to Anne Boyd for her ongoing support. Members who use Facebook and Instagram continue to spread the word about the society through sharing current exhibitions and promotion of our artists.

Fundraising:Whilst the majority of our funds come from workshops and classes, we do need to raise money. All income is used to pay for services, property maintenance, prizes, judges and other necessities as they arise. Raffles of donated artworks, a sausage sizzle at Scoresby Bunnings, chocolate hampers donated by Nick Wakeling MP and Andrea Cobern of the ASV Academy, the Knox Historical Society cemetery tours, The Knox School kids workshops and wine sales of 13 dozen bottles were some of the fundraisers held in 2019.

Since we began the school holiday classes about 3 years ago, approximately 1000 places have been filled and along with our after-school classes, have raised significant funds.

Exhibitions:Many members worked on their own art whilst doing gallery duty - this is an added attraction for visitors and I’d like to encourage everyone to bring along artwork and take advantage of the facilities whilst manning the gallery.

We received a bequest from former member Jeanette Cutten and have instituted the Cutten Watercolour Award to be presented at the April Open Exhibition.

The Street Art exhibition seems to be morphing into a skateboard deck exhibition, however we will continue at this time to have canvases as part of the display. We acknowledge Globe skateboarding company who provide some of their products for prizes and local band One More Weekend who once again donated their time and energy into entertaining everyone at the opening.

We are grateful to the Ferntree Gully branch of the Bendigo Bank for their ongoing financial support of the Young @ Art Exhibition and to the Barfus Family who sponsor the Hiltrud Barfus Drawing Award an important part of our July Print and Drawing exhibition. Without the significant financial assistance of these entities, our range and depth of competition would be sorely impacted and greatly reduced.Thank you The Art Shop, Frames Now, Riot Art and the Belgrave Book Barn, who support us with discounts and product prizes.

2020 What’s coming up for the Ferntree Gully Arts Society this year?The sculpture garden committee is discussing ideas to develop the narrow piece of land down the side and at the back of the property and there are lots of new exhibition themes on the calendar for you to get stuck into, as well as foyer exhibitions from some of our members. There is room on the calendar for anyone who has an idea for a workshop they would like to run.On your behalf, I continue to sit on the Knox Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee that offers advice to the Knox City Council.

I am grateful for the opportunity to look back on the year that was. Throughout 2019 I believe the FTGAS has continued to strengthen and grow as an organisation and continues its’commitment, which is to encourage and further the pursuit and appreciation of the arts and in turn make a positive contribution to the local community. cont Page 7

LOOKING BACK AND LOOKING FORWARD

Creative block. The bane of all artists. Try these ideas and set your inner artist free once

again!

Try a new medium. If you generally work in oil paints,

try watercolour. If you usually do collage, try

rubber-stamping. Most arts have crossover

techniques and information, such as colour theory, that

can help you to see your own art in a new way.

Create an idea journal. Every time you see a picture in a magazine that appeals to

you, rip it out. Put your clippings together in a sketchbook grouped by colour, theme, shape or any

other common denominator.When you’re feeling blocked,

work from the journal

Kick your inner critic in the shins. Your inner critic is always looking over your

shoulder or urging you to act a certain way or do certain things to be validated and

accepted. Don’t play the compare game

with yourself.You can’t do your best work with one eye on the applause meter. The truth is that you need to work to please one

person in the room - yourself.

If you don’t like the art you are making, don’t show it to

anyone. Paint over it, burn the

evidence. If you want to try something new, do it. No one is watching and judging you.

CREATIVE BLOCK?

FERNTREE GULLY FILM SOCIETY The Ferntree Gully Film Society was established back in 1956 as part of the Ferntree Gully Arts Society with monthly film screenings at the Hut Gallery of 16mm films, both English language and International. Many of the Film Society members were heavily involved with the Victorian Federation of Film Societies and the Melbourne Film Festival as well as the Film Weekend movement.

To screen a film for the public on a Sunday in Melbourne in 1970 required the permission of the Chief Secretary, Sir Arthur Rylah. A permit was acquired and we ran film trilogies with meals in between each film at the old Loyalty Cinema in Upper Ferntree Gully (now the 1812 Theatre). These proved very popular with film lovers from all over Melbourne. Indian, Russian and Italian films were screened there.

The 1970’s were the great days of the Society with very large membership. Discussion nights with a film and speaker were held regularly and film study nights looked at specific directors of German, French, British cinema etc. Never shy of controversy, the Society screened a Canadian film on pornography “Not a Love Story” and chose as guest speaker a representative from the Prostitutes Collective, thus ensuring a lively debate.

Into the 1990’s membership waned as more cinemas were built and video be-came popular. Early in 1994 the Manager of the local cinema at Boronia offered the use of his facility on a monthly basis and the decision was to change to 35mm. We chose our own programs and this proved to be a good move as we have not looked back and have from then had a constant full membership.

Village Cinemas took over Boronia and later we moved to their new complex at Knox City where members enjoy the comforts of the Europa Cinema. We are now in our 64th year of cinema enjoyment.

The move to a more purpose built venue was inevitable as warmth and com-fortable seating as well as a good film was needed to boost our membership. The Film Society is an associated body of the Arts Society today.

Enquiries about membership of the Society can be obtained from Dorothy on 8756 4286.

I’d like to acknowledge and thank Nick Wakeling MP and the Knox City Council for their continuing support.

While I am offering thanks for support given on behalf of our art community, there are many of our members, often in the background, who keep our society functioning. Well done and thank you - your work is greatly appreciated. Please remember that we really need the help and input of our members; we are not asking for a huge commitment of time but rather, if everyone does just a little, then the whole task is much more manageable.

Thank you to the committee of 2019 for their support and for the work done on behalf of our arts community. It is always a rewarding experience to serve on a committee with like-minded people, all with a common goal and I am pleased to report that despite my four years of presidency, the group is still in rude health, due to the efforts of many members and in part to our Treasurer Janet Barralet, who can rightly bask in the glow of such a beautiful set of numbers.

However, whilst all of these people have done a sterling job, the society is always in search of new volunteers. This is to not only replace existing personnel but to re-invigorate the committee with new opinions and ideas. The existing committee is a very welcoming group of individuals and will gladly help you transition in to a new role. Please consider this as we elect committee members for the coming year.

In conclusion, thank you for trusting me as one of the leaders of your organisation - it was a big year for us and I think we nailed it.

I wish you all the best for 2020. Warm regards

PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT cont.

The theme for the May members exhibition is

Abstract Art.

This is art that does not attempt to represent an

accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.

Strictly speaking, the word abstract means to separate

or withdraw something from something else.

The term can be applied to art that is based an object, figure or landscape, where

forms have been simplified or schematised.

It is also applied to art that uses forms, such as geometric

shapes or gestural marks, which have no source at all in

an external visual reality.

MAY THEME

BEAUTY, CAULIFLOWER AND PAINT

We recently held a watercolour demonstration with award-winning local artist (and new FTGAS member) It Hao Pheh.

Everyone enjoyed the presentation with It Hao who clearly has a passion for his artwork, for the beauty to be found around us, and life in general.

His obvious delight in producing “cauliflower” on his canvas (which left a few of the audience members in a bit of a confused state) and his skill in using just two brushes and a

palette which looks like it came from

the ark, It Hao magically produced over the course of a couple of hours, a finished work depicting a scene inspired by a photo

taken in Hobart. All in all a very enjoyable and informative afternoon which we hope to repeat later in the year.

More of It Hao’s work here: https://www.gallery247.com.au/it-hao-pheh

IN THE GALLERY

Articles, ideas and submissions for the May/Jun newsletter received up to

28th April.shirley.dougan@bigpond.com

or leave in an envelope addressed to Shirley in the top drawer in the studio

Please note that at all times, information provided in this

newsletter is open, transparent and as accurate

as is humanly possible.

In the gallery there is a members exhibition titled “Down by the Sea” which is complemented by a foyer exhibition of oil paintings by Ron Ashworth titled ESCAPE - an Exhibition of Oil Paintings by Ron Ashworth

This exhibition of oil paintings is about, as the title “Escape” suggests, getting away from normal day duties, like going to work and everyday living (which believe me I do enjoy), but going into my garage-come-studio within a few minutes of squeezing out the oil paints from the tubes, the smell of linseed, safflower and poppy oils and the different consistency of the paints and colours, transports me into another world.It is a world of freedom of choice of motif and the style with which you want to execute the work - for me though, it is the freedom of colour. I could write at some length about all of these choices, but hope these works explain what I feel.

While the subject matter in this exhibition is quite conventional, the texture, the colour and brush work are starting to show what I consider a further step in my artistic journey.I hope you find some inspiration from these works.

Both exhibitions are open for viewing to Sunday 29th March (note that the gallery will be closed on Sunday 8th March).

The Boully Award is money left to the FTGAS by two sisters to be used as an encouragement award.

Committee has decided to make this award available to a member who shows the most improvement in their artwork over the months from February to October.

It consists of one award worth $250.

Everyone who enters art-work will be eligible for the prize which will be decided

by committee in consultation with the hanging committee.

Photos will be taken of all artwork in all exhibitions to provide an ongoing record to assist with choosing the Boully Award which will be presented at the opening of the Annual Exhibition in

October.

The more exhibitions that you enter, means that the

judges have a more rounded picture of your creative

journey.

AWARD FOR MOST IMPROVED

FTGAS SCULPTURE PRIZEThere is to be a sculpture prize of $200 offered as part of the Annual Members Exhibition in October, for an outdoor sculpture or mosaic. There must be a minimum of three sculptures from different artists in the exhibition.

These will be displayed in the sculpture garden and can be for sale, but must be able to be sited with regards to the weather. A size restriction applies because the sculptures will be sited upon the plinths, the top of which is about 30cm diameter. The height should be considered in relation to the plinths which are about 1metre high amd made of concrete (they are pretty sturdy).

There is also space for 2 or 3 “large” sculptures, however these will need to be sited upon the ground (probably on concrete pavers) and again size and material will be deciding factors as the garden space is not large.As with gallery exhibitions, all care will be taken, however, responsibility for insur-ance lies with the artist. Sculptures must stay on display for the remainder of the year (ie until mid-Dec). Handing-in will be on Saturday 3rd October between 10am and 12 noon.

HOUSEKEEPING

If you use the studio and kitchen area please sweep the

floor, wash your dishes and put them away.

If the bins are full, please empty them.

If you get oil paint or pastel on the easels, please clean it

off. Please make sure that the easels are placed between

the sign (on the wall near the storeroom) and the line on

the floor (on the left near the printing press).

The easels are very heavy for some of our senior members to move and it is a problem if they are blocking the printing

press.

Membership application forms have boxes for you to tick where you feel you can

help out.

Please number your prefer-ences from 1 through to 5.

Make sure you read the descriptions for the jobs (on the back of your form) so that you can see what’s involved. Most jobs arebroken down into many

different tasks and you may be required to only do one

of those tasks.

We are a community of artists and as such, doing

even just one small job is a big help.
