The Age 'Art What's On' section mentioned the Net Work exhibition, using one of my images.

The Age 

See new paintings at the Art Gallery of Ballarat in 'Net Work: the TLF exhibition' 11th December - 30th January 2011.

St. Luke Artists Colourmen have once again embraced the universal symbol of the painter, inviting over 200 artists to create an artwork on the now somewhat kitsch and arguably outdated, wooden palette.

Ranging from well established local and interstate artists to first time exhibitors. With no rules- the results range from the exquisite to the truly bizarre!!

Opening 30th July, 6pm - 8pm.
32 Smith St
Collingwood, Victoria

All the palettes are for sale and the exhibition continues in the shop until the 5th September
