Description
Qdos Arts
Qdos begun in 1989 as Lorne's first contemporary art gallery on Mountjoy Pde and was relocated to Allenvale road in 1998.Construction of the new Qdos involved 20 ton of warehouse timbers, 300 ton of volcanic basalt and 30 ton of bluestone pavers and fulfilled director Graeme Wilkie's vision of decentralizing and integrating the arts from the city into the forest. Over 150 exhibitions have been mounted at Qdos over the years, involving many acclaimed artists, musicians and performers. The summer season is busy with Art, Music, Poetry and Cinema. Art camps are conducted for children from secondary and tertiary colleges.
Exhibitions
Qdos invitation exhibitions run between New Year and Easter each year. Exhibitions are generally group shows of a fortnightly duration. Each Easter, Qdos hosts the Annual Open Air Sculpture Exhibition, featuring indoor and outdoor works, and in conjunction with this, a Sculptors Symposium.Please contact us or go click through to our website for exhibition opening times and days.
Sculpture Park
In the three acre setting in the thick towering eucalypts, a decorative pond is surrounded by works of our leading sculptors.The Studio
A strong feature of the Qdos Studio is the creative exploration of clay as an artistic medium. Qdos studio features a 9 metre long wood firing ANAGAMA kiln which is fired twice a year for 7 days and nights. This develops a bed of fly ash on the work in the kiln before the final temperature of 135 degrees C is reached. . Twelve people are required to conduct the firing, firewood preparation, food & bedding etc and this taskforce is gathered from the ceramics related institutes around Australia.The studio offers young artists the opportunity to work along side Wilkie as assistants developing ideas and techniques.
