The last days.....

A reminder, Metonymy the exhibition will be on today and tomorrow (Saturday) from 3 pm - 8 pm. So please remind your friends and family to come. Entry is free. The Metonymy publication (featuring the work of all 27 pairings to complete) will be there for sale along with other merchandise - $8 to artists involved in Metonymy, $12 to members of the public.

Taking down work: This will be this SUNDAY, from 11 am. If you are exhibiting please come and take down/collect your work then. Let us know if you can't and we will make alternative arrangements - please note we don't have anywhere to store your work after Sunday.

Afterwards, some of us will be going over to Fordes Bar on Anzac Ave - Judith McNeil (one of the Poetry Live poets is having a poetry book launch there at 4.30 with music and food, and it's a cosy place to hang out, so come and join us if you want.

After a small breather (!) we are going to start planning for next year's Metonymy.... and applying for funding this time... so stay tuned!!
