“This exhibition has been an exercise in
collaboration from the very beginning. Hugh Waller, founder of Bend Arts
and one of the participating artists, approached us here at View Point
with the idea of running a show to coincide with the inaugural Bendigo
Writers Festival. Many coffees and
brainstorming sessions later, we had thrashed out the idea of a
collaborative exhibition, bringing writers and visual artists together
to create a dialogue between words and art. The collaborative process
has taken on a life of it's own within the individual pairings – with
some groups choosing to create entirely new pieces, revamp past works or
team up for the entire creative process, both written and visual.” -

The book features the work of each participant in the exhibition, each page being devoted to a single work. Also included is a brief statement from participating Writers and Artists.
Shares of profits from book sales go to the exhibiters so by purchasing the book you not only get a quality book showing the work of local Writers and Artists you also support and encourage them all.
