Monday's media launch was a great success. The Sports Minister Justin Madden engaged in deep conversation with visiting artists. Photos have appeared in The Age and Herald Sun. The artists met beforehand and were introduced to each other. The Mauritian artist Lewis Dick demonstrated the sega and welcomes were exchanged in many different languages.
- The South African artist Hlengiwe Dube had one of her bowls reproduced in bright colour in the Herald Sun. There was an official reception for her at Geelong Art Gallery (see image below)
- Flax has been collected for Te Atiwae Ririnui
- Due to family circumstances beyond her control, Niki Hastings-McFall has delayed her trip. She is expected mid-February.
- Audrey Boyle is continuing to collect strange flora for her installation-in-progress at Craft Victoria.
