Ink It up a Printmaking Intiative
In August 2023, Bayley Arts received a community grant from Bayside City Council, marking the beginning of the 'Ink It Up' initiative. ‘Ink It Up’ is a printmaking initiative celebrating the artistic talents of Bayley Artists. Bayley Arts began by purchasing a printing press from Melbourne Etching Supplies. Professional development for staff and Bayley Artists in printmaking processes began. We held a series of professional development workshops for 10 Bayley arts instructors, in partnership with Adrian Spurr at Boldface Fine Art Print. The aim of professional development was to up skill our instructors in safe work methods and best practice...
Plastic Problems Exhibition Opening Night
Plastic Problems, represents the meeting of Bayley artists and environmental activist and artist Carolyn Cardinet and their immersive journey into the devastating environmental impacts of waste and plastic pollution on our beautiful coastal waters and our vulnerable marine life.
Works include hanging sculptural forms weaved from found plastics, film, prints, watercolours and installation.
The opening evening was a fantastic celebration of the work created.
