NAVA Visual and Craft Artists’ Grant Scheme Who needs to head overseas when you can find it all in Canberra! The list of Visual Arts events is huge () but I think I’ll definitely be stopping by the Persian Arts Centre to see their bazaar-themed exhibition, and I’ll be popping into the Mexican embassy to see Ricardo Maldonado Garduno’s photographic exploration of The Passion parades held in Mexico City every year. Firstly there’s the fantastic Perth International Arts Festival from the 11th February to the 6th of March – I have included the Visual Arts events in the Western Australian section below, but you can view the entire program at And secondly there’s the 2005 National Multicultural Festival which sounds so great I am tempted to make a trip to our nation’s capital very soon (despite having just been there for the Vivienne Westwood show). But around the country other festivals are opening up to keep the summer buzz alive.

For information on the program go to: Īs teachers around the nation start dragging themselves back to their classrooms after a long summer break, this is certainly a good time to start collecting resources together. In fact, the Art Gallery of NSW has a fantastic Teacher/Student program to coincide with ArtExpress which includes Student Study Mornings, and a Teachers’ Day with Bill Henson. These are currently being held around the country – namely at the Art Gallery of NSW, Wollongong City Gallery, the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston, Tasmania.
