About ‘The Collage’

‘The Collage’ is a collective of talented professional artists from all art disciplines - painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramics and, jewellery. Originally going by the name ‘The Carine Art Group’, the group decided to rename itself in order to describe its function more succinctly, but in a creative and playful manner.

Consisting of twenty artists , members of the group met about 17 years ago through their association with The North Metropolitan College of TAFE, Carine, thus the interplay on the words ‘College’ and ‘Collage’, referencing the group’s diversity and the art term.

Some members were lecturers in the Art Department of Carine TAFE; others were students – many of whom went on to further studies, becoming lecturers themselves. After leaving TAFE, the group have continued with their annual ‘camps’ to Rottnest Island, meeting regularly during the year, and holding group exhibitions. All members are now established and successful artists, exhibiting locally, some nationally and internationally and who have a strong commitment to art and each other.

The Collage will be presenting their exciting and multifaceted works of art in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, jewellery and textiles. The work will be executed in many styles, modern, traditional, serious and light hearted and it is hoped that students and emerging artists will also find inspiration from this exhibition, and the public will find some outstanding art or an opportunity to purchase some early Christmas presents.

The title Where I stand is a reference to the groups long standing affiliation with art, their own practice and each other.
