11th October 2020 to 25th October 2020: The HDG-Artists Inc. conducted a very different type of Annual Exhibition, the first in it's history of 79 Annual Exhibitions
The Half Dozen Group of Artists Inc 79th Annual Exhibition was originally scheduled for June 2020 at the Richard Randall Studio at Mt Coot-tha. Then.... the Pandemic intervened and it wasn't safe to hold an exhibition at that time. The Exhibition was re-scheduled for mid October at the group's studio at Sherwood. However, although restrictions had eased by then, the space available in the studio wasn't sufficient to ensure safe entry and exit for visitors. Undaunted, we opted to hold a Virtual Exhibition, which was very successful in terms of visitors from all over the globe being able to enjoy our artists' work.
33 of our members contributed 107 separate pieces of artwork, 21 of those going to make up the Lambert Wall. The theme of this year's Lambert Wall was "Something that makes me smile", and there were some great, smile-making works submitted!
Below are a couple of screen shots which depict how the exhibition looked at the start-up. When each individual painting was selected, it automatically enlarged and showed the details of the artist and the work.

THE HDG-ARTISTS INC. 78th ANNUAL EXHIBITION - 2019
|
June 22nd and 23rd 2019 saw the 78th Annual Exhibition for the HDG-Artists Inc. The Exhibition was very successful with many positive comments about the vibrancy and high quality of the artworks on show.
Opening night was packed and the Hon Matt Foley officially opened the event. He made special mention of the late Dixie Lambert, a much loved member of the HDG-Artists who passed away earlier this year and, who was also responsible for the implementation of the Lambert Wall. The Lambert Wall is now an eagerly anticipated feature of the Annual Exhibitions. This year's Lambert Wall theme was "Inspired by Music" with a new format of framing and hanging being trialled for the display. The wall also featured a panel commemorating Dixie Lambert. |
