The 9 x 5 exhibition is Illustrators Australia annual opportunity for our members to show their abilities, have a bit of fun, and maybe make a few dollars. And for the first time this year the 9 x 5 will be part of the official Melbourne Fringe Festival program. This year the theme was "The Year of the Rat" and our guest auctioneer was Casey Bennetto - creator of "Keating! The Musical", who did a fantastic job faced with the daunting task of auctioning almost 90 works. All 9 x 5s are available for sale at a reserve price of $195 (inc. GST) Any unsold pieces will remain for viewing and sale via the IA website after this date, unless withdrawn by the artist. Payments can be made via cheque, bank transfer or Paypal.
