ABC Radio Ballarat was kind enough to talk to artist Magdalena Kazmierczak and myself about Weathering the Future on 12 November.

We had a great chat with Gavin McGrath about the exhibition.

Gavin was roped in to provide words for one of our later arrivals on the art front, and rose to the occasion splendidly!

A piece of promo appeared on the ABC’s Facebook page — splendid!

Progress report 4: The Arts Academy communication design students have finished their posters, and they look amazing!

Fourteen students, under the direction of lecturer Ben Mangan, have produced either individually or in workshop a poster for each piece of prose. The cohort is:

Philip Buadromo
Liam Deutsher
Brooke Forrest
Thomas Harding
Clare Hartigan
Taidgh King
Alexander Neil
Bridget O Brien
Jarred Parkinson
Max Potts
Jessica Rae
Monique Stephens
Abbey Thompson

Such a variety of treatments, and eye-popping colour — we can’t wait to see them on display in the exhibition!

Note: the Arts Academy holds its end-of-year exhibition 1-9 December at the Mining Exchange on Lydiard St, with opening night on 30 November. Find out more here. Get along and see what these young talents have created!
