The Interwoven Exhibition Grand Opening Night 17 June 2010

Interwoven is the Design Institute of Australia’s (DIA) yearly exhibition of jewellery and textile work from highly skilled artists demonstrating contemporary innovation in design. And we attended the opening night on Thursday 17th of June.

What a fantastic night! The show was a great success, it was buzzing with people admiring the artwork. The show was opened by an expert of design, John Eussen. John has been in the design and interior industry for more than 25 years. John is a driving force in a vibrant international design market and is well respected in the industry. It was a great honour to see John Eussen speak at the opening of the show. 

Firstly a huge congratulations to the main driver behind the Interwoven, Philippa Willkinson, DIA NSW Textile Councillor of the Design Institute of Australia. And a special note of thanks to Beatrice Rankin from the Hemp Gallery for her sponsorship and contribution.

Thanks to the Artist and Designers who had worked tirelessly, putting in such a big effort to have all the superb work displayed so beautifully at the gallery.

We’d also like to thank and acknowledge the ten talented artists for taking part in the ArtSHINE Close Up interview series.  You’ve inspires all the people who’ve visited our ArtSHINE blog.

The Interwoven Exhibition is on till the June 30 at Gaffa Gallery.
