Comment by scott lyon on February 6, 2012 at 18:10: Good afternoon,

Thank you for showing interest in attending Sasha Grishin's lecture, 'Voices in artists books - the collaborative venture', this Wednesday evening, 6pm at the State Library of Victoria. Due to the high amount of interest that we have had in this event we have moved the lecture to a larger venue - the Village Roadshow Theatrette. Please still come to Entry 3 on Latrobe St at the State Library of Victoria, when you enter there will be someone to point you in the right direction (the Theatrette is to the left when you enter through the glass doors at Entry 3).

Any of those that were on the waiting list are now more than welcome to attend as this new venue seats approximately 200 people.

We look forward to seeing you Wednesday evening for what should be a very interesting and informative lecture.

Kind regards,

Emma Bloom
Administration Assistant
