Centenary of Victorian Women Vote celebrations continued on Sunday the 26th of October with "a walk of art". Women gathered at Federation Square with art works in tow to a welcome address by Judy Madigan the first woman speaker of Parliament. We were then treated to a live performance by Lisa Edwards. We walked with our art to Parliament House were we were greeted on the steps by Jenny Lindell MP the current Speaker of the House. The group then continued on to the Queen Victoria Women's Centre were an exhibition was mounted from the art works. Fern and I have set up a small installation from The Art of Suff-Rage in the glass cabinet. The exhibition runs until the 28th of November.  Thanks to Karen Martin and Wendy Kernan for producing such a colourful, fun and creative event.

Fern organized the second "Conversations" which was held at the Gasworks Arts Park on October 14th. It was an event that brought together organizations such as the Women's Electoral Lobby, Union of Australian Women, and the League of Women Voters Victoria and RMIT University students. Art works Fern and I created this year for Centenary of Victorian Women Vote celebrations were on display. The relaxed atmosphere allowed for stimulating, informative discussion enjoyed by all those who attended.

The Art of Suff-Rage will be a feature at this year's Brimbank Festival on Sunday 19 October 2008 from 11am to 5pm at Errington Reserve, St Albans.
The roving 'Suffragists" will be out and about with the latest edition of their newspaper. Ferns banners will be on display out the front of the Errington Community Centre and a number of Ursula's ceramic suffragist sculptures are on view in the glass cabinet inside the main entrance. At 1.30pm the Sunshine Brass Band on the Star Stage will play popular tunes from around the time women got the vote in 1908. The 'Suffragists' will be there encouraging people to sign a petition honoring the Monster Petition of 1891 which is part of the Centenary of Victorian Women Vote celebrations this year.
