Presentation: Sandy Edwards - 15th Sep

Sandy Edwards is the founder of ARTHERE an organisation that provides services to photographers to have exhibitions in Sydney and throughout Australia. Sandy is also Curator (part time) at Stills Gallery, Sydney's most established photograllery from 1991. In this role and as an independant curator she has curated many exhibitions in Sydney.

She is a board member of Head On, Sydney's premier portrait prize which is this year expanding to become Sydney's first major photo festival. She is leading the exhibitions program for Head On Photo Festival 2010. In 2000 she curated Photographic Lightboxes (with Linda Slutzkin) for the Sydney Airport, 2000, Art Program. These lightboxes in the Arrivals corridors of Sydney Airport are still featuring work by Australia's best known photoartists and the images have been refreshed once 2000.

Sandy is also a well known photographer. From 1977 she worked as a freelance photographer specialising in portraiture and the arts. Throughout the 1980's she taught photography at Sydney University's Tin Sheds. Her best known exhibitions are Welcome to Brewarrina, 1990 and Paradise is a Place, 1996. Paradise is a Place was published as a book, with Gillian Mears, by Random House in 1997. Her most recent exhibition, Indelible, was held at Stills Gallery in 2004.

Sandy has offered to respond to work members have produced during the members development program so don’t forget to bring along your work in whatever format you have chosen. This will be a wonderful occasion for some feedback from an experienced mentor.
