Yet more news from Jas Hugonnet…With exhibitions opening across the state from Orange to Canberra to Bega this weekend, there’s no way the Gang can physically cover all our preferred options. Never mind – you can go for us!!

If you’re in Canberra, head for M16 for Jas’s Obfunc launch (we love that name, Jas.)

If you’re in Orange, head down to ORG for Brigitte Enders’ exhibition Sentinels 2 (we’re desperately trying to sort an image for this – we don’t have an electronic version of the invitation….)

[Post script: in lieu of an invite, we’ve dropped in a snap of a pair of Brigitte’s gorgeous Wapengos recently showcased in the foyer vitrine at the BVRG. n(Ed)]

And if you’re hanging around in Bega at 6pm on Friday evening (and why on earth wouldn’t you be?) it’s box fest time…

…a fun show of creative constraint (featuring artworks that squeeze into a small AusPost gift pack) – and, consequently, the perfect opportunity to splurge on a locally hand-crafted objet d’art for that special xmas prez.

This show has a light-hearted entertainment factor  – but with a competitive edge; muso Phil Moriarty, recently returned from the Edinburgh Festival, has bravely agreed to step up to the judging plate this year (joining Megsie and Rachel on the selection panel), and there’s many a keen eye on the $1,000 winner’s purse (…well, it’s a tidy little chrissie drinks kitty, eh.)
