Scarier than the sight of Frankie thrusting her hairy arse as close to my face as she could, is the thought that it’s a year already since the last Illustrators Australia 9 x 5 exhibition, this year titled Rapture.
What’s the 9 x 5? The idea stems from the 1890 Cigar box exhibition held in Melbourne by the Heidelberg artists. Illustrators Australia members are sent a 9 x 5 piece of cigar box wood on which to create any illustration we like. The result is a group exhibition of around 80 works, all for sale on the night via a silent auction. You can view the works online from sometime today, and also place bids for the auction.
Opening night Friday 14th October from 6pm (auction at 8pm). Gallery open Sunday 16th October 10am-3pm
Where? Space 39, Level 2, 39 Little Collins Street, Melbourne Vic
See you there, I’ll be the one with a drink in both hands – it is Friday night after all.
