THIS WEEK
Harald Vike: Spirit of the Man continues at Vasse Felix. Vike spent many years attempting to capture the brilliance of the Australian light in paint. He was a dedicated, prolific and highly motivated artist who created an impressive body of work. His work reflected a passion for nature, a curiosity about the city and a love of people. Exhibition continues until February 3rd 2019.

Vasse Felix Festival 7th - 9th December : SOLD OUT

The ACO’s annual pilgrimage to Vasse Felix is one of the highlights of the year and makes an ideal pre-Christmas treat. Some of Australia’s most awarded wines can be savoured while enjoying the magical views from the Vasse Felix Estate in Margaret River, Western Australia, with performances by Richard Tognetti and the ACO over three glorious days.

This year Clarissa Ball will be speaking to guests at the Aesthete dinner.

It is once again a sold out event so get in quick for 2019!

In 2019, we bring Pekka Kuusisto and ACO Collective west for a celebration of music, wine and culinary art. Places are limited and tickets go on sale mid-year. Sign up to the enews to be updated when tickets go on sale, or email info@vassefelix.com.au to request more information.
Australiyaniality wrap-up
The Australiyaniality exhibition at the Holmes à Court gallery @ no.10 wound up with the Day of Ideas: renovation of a Nation on Saturday 17th November. A passionate selection of speakers including Danny Ford **** addressed the history of our nation towards the creation of a better future, not only for our ourselves but for generations to come. The day focused on the Uluru Statement from the Heart as a way to move forward, as a design for the renovation of our nation. 

This was followed by a Community Event : Smith’s Lake Wishing Tree and Yarning about Liyan on Sunday the 18th November. This event brought artists into conversation with the local community about Australia’s future. Wishes about the future were tied to a 'wishing tree' and then collectively projected onto the front of Luna Cinemas on the 23rd, 24th and 25th November. These wishes will be compiled into a card to be sent to targeted politicians.

This engaging novel by Amanda Curtin is part biography, part travel narrative and follows the life of Kathleen O'Connor as an artist in a foreign land.

Reproductions of three works from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection are featured within the book, as well as Richard Woldendorp's powerful photograph of Kathleen at the age of ninety.

This novel was recently published by the Fremantle Press and launched alongside the exhibition Being There: Kathleen O'Connor in Paris that ran from the 14th September to the 4th November at the Fremantle Arts Centre.
