Last night (April 3) saw the launch party for CURVY 5, YEN's annual all-female art book, at the Mori Gallery in Sydney. A growing crowd patiently waited outside the gallery for up to an hour early before the doors opened at 8pm to see the beautiful and eclectic collection of graphic designs and illustrations exhibited by CURVY featured artists. Artists in attendance included Bindi Booth, Kareena Zerefos and Smitten by Stephanie among others.
Guests were treated to music by Chicks on Decks with John the Lad and sipped on beverages from V, Singha beer and Skyy Blue Vodka while scribbling thoughts and graffiti on the 'YEN Room' walls with coloured Sharpie pens. The gallery was packed with artists, art enthusiasts and collectors and if you missed out on purchasing your own copy of CURVY last night, they will soon be available for sale here online. Many artists sold original pieces on the night and several guests purchased Jeremyville Sketchel bags emblazoned with one-off designs by their favourite artists. All in all a fabulous and inspiring evening with some drinks thrown in for good measure. The exhibition will be open at the Mori Gallery (168 Day St, Sydney) until April 5 so go check it out and support young female artistic talent from Australia and overseas.
