ADFAS Lismore Regional Gallery Fundraiser
The Value Of Art Online Lecture
Sunday 24 July 5.00pm
You're invited to a special ADFAS online lecture fundraising event - THE VALUE OF ART by Leigh Capel at 5:30pm (AEST) on Sunday 24 July - in aid of the extensive conservation work the Lismore Regional Art Gallery (LRG) is currently undergoing after the devastation of the New South Wales Northern Rivers region's floods earlier this year
Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society will be celebrating Christmas Eve in July and request your presence to enjoy this presentation. In keeping with the traditional festive season spirit, ADFAS asked you to dig deep and register to receive the lecture here for a minimum fee of $25 Inc GST. All profits from this event will go to the Lismore Regional Art Gallery.
Leigh will discuss the value of art in our everyday lives and dissect the reasons why we consume art. Art is a universal language that transcends borders, socioeconomic, political, and cultural constructs with numerous shared and distinguishing themes. Value can be broken down into five main areas; market, historical, cultural, contextual, and sentimental value. All have relevant and contrasting factors that influence the importance and purpose of a piece of art.
There are numerous individuals within society who determine value, and Leigh will identify and assess their importance and influence. He will analyse the current art market (primary and secondary), and discuss how trends are introduced and managed in relation to value. He will also discuss how research and provenance are an essential part of determining value in art.
Join in the Pre-lecture informal chat with our very own Ashleigh Ralph and Geoff Hannah.
