In July 2015 JMGNSW will be hosting the 16^th Biennial Conference of The Jewellers and Metalsmiths Group of Australia, Edges Borders Gaps. As part of this important event, JMGQ will be exhibiting at Gaffa Gallery 281 Clarence Street, Sydney to coincide with the conference. www.gaffa.com.au

2015 is the UNESCO International Year of Light, and to celebrate this, JMGQ members are invited to submit work that reflects themes related to light, and also draws upon the idea of us as representatives from Queensland, the ‘Sunshine State'.

Light is present all around us, fundamental to our existence, governing the rhythms of life. It is essential to the visual arts, and a source of beauty in its own right. It plays a major role in many rapidly advancing technological applications - as a source of energy, in communications and medical sciences to name a few, and has far reaching implications in economics and energy use around the world. Light transcends time as it travels across space from distant stars, telling us of events that occurred thousands of years ago. As we seek to unlock the secrets of the origins of the universe, light aids us on both the micro and macro scale.

For jewellers and metalsmiths light plays an especially important role, through the interplay of reflective and refractive surfaces. In combination with the conference theme of Edges Borders Gaps, a questioning of the positioning of contemporary jewellery within art and society, light offers fertile territory for further exploration of the field.

INVITATION

Following the outstanding success of this inaugural event in 2013, I am very pleased to invite you to the
second annual “Signatures” Fine Art Exhibition organised by the Rotary Club of Samford Valley. The major
beneficiary for this event is PolioPlus, Rotary's worldwide polio eradication project.

The Exhibition will show artistic works by more than 70 well-known and prominent Australian artists and
presents a rare opportunity to view an even larger selection of works than we displayed in 2013, across a
wide variety of art forms, with jewellery an addition this year. The event location is the elegant  Topiaries –
Beaumont House, overlooking the beautiful Samford Valley. Details for the Exhibition are as follows:

“Signatures” Fine Art Exhibition
Thursday 30 January – Sunday 2 February, 2014, 10am-4pm daily
Admission $5.00

Official Opening Friday 31 January 2014, 7pm-9pm
Admission $25 (includes canapes and drink)

Topiaries – Beaumont House
961 Eatons Crossing Road, Samford

For art lovers, or those with just a passing interest in art, “Signatures” promises an outstanding visual
experience that should not be missed. All art works are for sale.

Eradication of polio from the world is closer than it has ever been, but there is still much to be done. Your
attendance at “Signatures” Fine Art Exhibition will assist in the continuation of this vital humanitarian project.

I hope to see you there.

Sincerely

Ian Ruffles
