a walk of art… and art exhibition

Celebrating 100 years of the Women’s Vote in Victoria, the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre asks you to join us on a walk of art...and art exhibition. Pay homage to our Suffragette sisters who made sacrifices to give women a voice, and acknowledge our contemporaries who in their chosen fields inspire other women to reach out for their goals. Meet at Federation Square and listen to a special performance by Lisa Edwards and the Opening address by Judy Maddigan MP, the first female Speaker of Parliament.

Time: 11am, Day: 26 October 2008

Walk from Federation Square with your art via Parliament House to the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre. Join in an open art exhibition and the hanging of 30 selected artworks in the QVWC Gallery Foyer (exhibited through November).

All art forms welcome - all students can register for the Bank of Queensland student art prizes ($600, $300, $100) and for an outstanding artist, the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre is offering an exhibition space in their 2009 program together with assistance with promotion and an exhibition launch.
