Repost from art.etal: 🌿 This week Art et al. were lucky enough to catch up with recent collaborators, APA’s Georgia Szmerling and Melbourne artist Emily Ferretti at APA’s Collingwood Yards gallery. For Art et al, Emily (represented by Sophie Gannon Gallery) undertook a digital residency with UK artist Sandra Lott from Submit to Love Studios, to create thematic collections of experimental work. Georgia and Holly Stephenson (UK) created new ceramic sculptures that responded to their natural environment. Georgia and Emily, who met for the first time last week, are creating large-scale murals for the upcoming PLANT/LIFE exhibition curated by Kristy Grant. They have been talking about art and Art et al. and we can’t wait to see their finished works. 🍃 emilyferretti sophiegannongallery submittolovestudios holly__stevenson kirstyalexandergrant collingwood_yards #ArtEtAl #Collaboration #ContemporaryArtists #APA #ArtsProjectAustralia #PlantLife

𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗻… What a great response we’ve had to help buy a new kiln! We are aiming to raise $15,000 to help cover the costs and are now more than halfway there - thanks to our generous family of supporters. With a new kiln, there is no limit to what our artists can achieve – they have the ideas, commitment and skills required to make great work if we invest in the right equipment.

⭐️ 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘂𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲? ⭐️ As follower of APA, you will be aware of the unique and highly collectible ceramics coming out of the studio. But did you know that every single object our artists make needs to be fired twice? Or that kilns lose their power over time? Well, our kiln has been a workhorse for the last 15 years but as you can see, it’s in trouble. So we are calling on you, fans of APA, to please consider donating to help us buy a new kiln. With a new kiln, there is no limit to what our artists can achieve – they have the ideas, commitment and skills required to make great sculptures if we invest in the right equipment. Please visit the link in our bio to make a tax deductible donation. Every donation big or small will make a huge difference to the quality of the work our artists can create. Thank you and we look forward to sharing more wonderful ceramics with you in years to come 💛 #APA #ArtsProjectAustralia #Ceramics #PleaseDonate #WeNeedANewKiln
