There will be notes to take away as well as samples, giveaways and some bargains at reduced prices only available at the event. ● We are now hosting Sue Gilford’s drawing classes in our studio at Gecko Studio Gallery between 9.30 and 12.30 and 1.30 to 4.30 Mondays.

Admission: $12, Concession $8, Child and Gallery Member Free. This remarkable exhibition celebrates our continent's amazing and diverse flora and the ways Australian plants have been recorded, interpreted and popularised by botanical artists from William Dampier and the early explorers to the present day. The European discovery of this continent took place during the Enlightenment, an era when time, effort and finances were put into voyages of exploration. The botanical art which recorded newly-discovered plants which were radically strange to European eyes was of extraordinarily high quality. During the 19th century, the growing middle class, both in the colonies and the home country developed an insatiable interest in horticultural pursuits while scientific institutions were building up their knowledge of botanical resources. New printing techniques allowed prints to be coloured mechanically, resulting in a boom in botanical art which lasted into the 20thcentury. Since the 1950s there has been a renaissance of botanical art under such luminaries as Margaret Stones and Celia Rosser . Australia now has one of the most vibrant practicing botanical art traditions in the world and the exhibition includes some of the finest examples of the work of Australia's contemporary botanical artists. Capturing Flora aims to be the most comprehensive exhibition of Australia botanical art ever held in this country. It brings together over 300 images, the vast majority of which have been collected by the Art Gallery of Ballarat in recent years. It will be accompanied by a major publication, the first comprehensive monograph to cover this 'territory' for over 10 years. 40 Lydiard Street North, Ballarat.

    10 May 2013 Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 By email Dear Committee Secretary, Inquiry into the effectiveness of current regulatory arrangements in dealing with the simultaneous transmission of radio programs using the broadcasting services bands and the Internet ('simulcast') We write in our capacity of Artist Representative Directors and Artist Patrons of the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA). PPCA is a not for profit collecting society established to issue blanket licences, on a non- exclusive basis, for the public use of sound recordings and music video clips. Further information on PPCA and each signatory is appended to this submission (Appendix A). Our registered artists and record labels range from individual self managed artists and small labels through to world renowned artists and global record companies. PPCA‘s artists and labels rely on it to safeguard their rights, ensuring that they receive a fair return for the use of their music. It does this by licensing businesses to play recorded music in public, with the fees collected paid to the registered recording artists and record labels which have created the recordings. PPCA has over 2,700 directly registered recording artists, and there are also thousands of recording artists who earn income from PPCA via their record label relationships. Attached at Appendix B is a sample list of registered artists, demonstrating the range of individuals represented by PPCA who support this submission. For many years PPCA, on behalf of the Australian sound recording industry, has been lobbying for the removal of inequitable price restrictions contained in the Australian Copyright Act.
