Vice President of the GACL Andrea Garivaldis, representing the President of the GACL Cathy Alexopoulos who is currently overseas, addressed the gathering of artists and guests, welcoming all and referring to the important role the Cultural League plays in the cultural life of the Greek Australian community.

The coordinator of the exhibition, Frixos Ioannides, also addressed the gathering, spoking briefly about the history of Antipodean Palette and introduced the participating artists. He stressed that since its inception in 2011, Antipodean Palette has been instrumental in bringing together art lovers to celebrate the arts and artists to showcase their latest work.

Preparations for this year’s event started several months earlier with members of the Administrative Committee taking on various tasks, all of which were carried out well and in a timely manner.

Frixos congratulated the participating artists for their diligence in preparing their work and delivering it to the gallery on time so that the exhibition could be ready for the opening ceremony. Setting up an exhibition, having interviews, making announcements and preparing press release articles takes time and effort on the part of many people. Frixos thanked everybody involved with preparations for the exhibition and wished the artists well in the future development of their creative work.
