This upcoming week has to be one of the most exciting for the Year!
From Semi-Permanent Melbourne to Get Trucked... make sure your schedule is clear for what Melbourne has in store...
To kick it all off, we are excited to be hosting the latest solo show from this year's Curvy Featured Artist, Kaitlin Beckett...
"A Compendium of Undersea Curiosities...and Friends."
With a unique style, Kaitlin brings to life a collection of curious beasts from the deep (and some landlubber friends).
Be intrigued by the detail, enchanted by the characters and lost in the story... An explosion of fins, masks, tentacles, rockets and hearing trumpets awaits.
This latest body of work features some of the best pieces to date from this talented artist.
Show Opens tonight @ 696 from 6-9pm... And runs until the 11th.
Do yourself a favor and be there!
Get Trucked is here again... and as mentioned we have teamed up with the crew at Per Square Metre, a great range of artists and to top it all off, it's a side to the first Melbourne Semi-Permanent Conference.
For those of you who don't know, Get Trucked is an annual event run by 696 to raise money for CanTeen - The Organisation for Young People Living with Cancer. We ask willing artists to donate their time to decorate a Trucker cap, which is then sold at the exhibition with all proceeds going to the cause.
It's going to be a great night... and what better way to kick off the Semi-P weekend then with a great show for a great organisation.
Show Opens Thursday 8th Oct from 6-9pm @ Per Square Metre
191-193 Johnston st Collingwood
We aren't the only ones lucky enough to be hosting a side event for Semi-permanent... Gorker Gallery will be overcome by song for it's next exhibition "Lyrics and Type".
Wooden Toy Quarterly has invited 17 of the worlds most crafty and creative typographers, illustrators & graphic designers to interpret song lyrics by famous (both past or present) singers, songwriters and bands for a series of artworks combining typographic treatment of words, image and illustration.
Lyrics and Type is a print & zine project designed to celebrate the theme of Wooden Toy Quarterly’s next release, the “Music Edition” (Oct 2009) Featuring limited typographic artist prints and a 40 page Lyrics & Type zine available from the gallery.

... as for the Conference itself tickets are still available, and with the final speakers announced it is shaping up to be one of their best events yet.
Speakers include Jeff Soto (featured above), Tara McPherson, Luke Lucas, and Industrial Light and Magic just to name a few... for full details make sure you check out semipermanent.com. Honestly get yourself an early Xmas present and treat yourself to this experience.
While we have you marking dates on you Calenders, make sure to include -
"Telos" a solo show from Brisbane artist Aramas Ridge.
It doesn't open until Thursday the 15th but won't hurt to pencil it in now.
Hope you're as excited as we are!
And we look forward to sharing the next few nights with you...
