Penumbra, an atmospheric installation of work by Rick Amor, creates a Romantic otherworld of the imagination where enigmatic creatures and out-of-scale figures are both strangely familiar but curiously different. Surrounded by dramatic mural scale black and white drawings a tableau of Rick Amor's mysterious bronze figures emerge onto the moody half-light of the exhibition space.

This biennial exhibition was established in 1988 to commemorate the work of colonial gold and
silversmith, Ernest Leviny, who lived at Buda. This fascinating display endeavours to celebrate and
continue the traditions of the metalsmith craft, by placing the works in a contemporary context.
The Contemporary Australian Silver and Metalwork Exhibition is unique to Australia, as it is the only
continuing national survey exhibition of large-scale silversmithing with an emphasis on holloware.

The Montalto Sculpture Prize $20,000 acquisitive award and Pennon Hill people’s choice award $1,000 (non-acquisitive). Is open to all artists working in any medium.
The Montalto Sculpture Prize was conceived by John & Wendy Mitchell, a further extension of their vision for a winery that combined estate grown premium wines with award winning architectural design and one of the best restaurants on the Mornington Peninsula. In 2003 their passion for supporting the visual arts was realised with an annual sculpture prize.
Montalto Vineyard and Olive Grove provides a picturesque outdoor gallery that embraces all aspects of the vineyard, from the orchard and olive groves to the herb garden and wetlands. Curated by Neil Williams, the sculptures are creatively sited throughout the 50 acre property. The collection has now become an integral part of Montalto, adding interest and creative energy to an otherwise idyllic scene.

For over ten years, thousands of people have lost themselves in the walls of corn in The Enchanted Maze Gardens annual Maize Maze. This year we are continuing the tradition of intrigue and fantasy with a Carnival themed Maize Maze with special carnival themed activities for the children over Easter.

Those who love a challenge will delight in the many false trails and dead ends that are all part of the twisting and turning paths. Even the best navigators will be tested as they negotiate their way from the ferris wheel through the balloons and big top, around the carousel and finally exiting after a wild trip along the roller coaster.

Planted in late November, the Maize Maze is created each year using GPS technology and 100,000 stalks of corn in the 2.5 acre field located at the bottom of The Enchanted Maze Garden property.

As the first comprehensive overview of the career of John Ford Paterson, this exhibition will showcase Paterson’s twilight landscapes and coastal scenes including major paintings of Sorrento, Half Moon Bay, Berwick and Fernshaw. Paterson was much admired by his contemporaries in Melbourne, during the 1880s and early 1900s, for his continued commitment to translating the beauty of nature into his landscapes, which captured ‘something evanescent’ within the poetic twilight.

Many of the works in the exhibition are held in the descendant’s collections and have not been seen in public since 1932. Additional artworks of the talented extended Paterson family will also be included: Charles and Hugh’s designs for their decorating firm created some of the most iconic interiors of the late 1880s, and artworks by Esther and Betty Paterson who were highly successful modernist artists in the fields of society portraits and illustration.

John Ford Paterson: A family tradition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated comprehensive catalogue.
