Program of the 1987 QWASI exhibition at Brisbane City Hall. Love the animals doing art drawing. Does anyone remember who designed this? Thanks to Geoff Thompson for this.
The following images have been given to us by Barry Ingham, QWASI President in 1990. Most newspaper articles don’t have dates so they might be out of order. Apologies if that is the case. Thank you Barry.
I found this photo of Len and Kath Shillam, early QWASI members and famous Sculptors, on the State Library website. https://www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/sandgate-and-redcliffe-acknowledge-work-kathleen-and-leonard-shillam. Does anyone remember anything about this event?
