PETE HAS BEEN INVITED TO QINGDAO,  CHINA AS THE GLOBAL AMBASSADOR REPRESENTING ARTISTS FOR CONSERVATION.  THIS IS THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD WITH HEADQUARTERS BASED IN VANCOUVER CANADA.

In this role Pete will hold the position as the Chair of the AFC Advisory Committee for International Strategic Co-operation at the International Exhibition of Selected Works from the 2019 Annual Exhibition recently held in Vancouver. 

The opening will be on October 19th 2019 at the Lanwan Art Complex in Qingdao

Such an honour to represent these artists from around the world who join together with the common purpose of using their art to portray the wonderful world in which we all live, and to promote and support, through their art, the efforts of many in the fields of conservation and sustainability.

Pete has taken up the role of Senior Art Advisor of the Art Advisory Council to the Board of The WAMA Foundation. This is the overseeing body for the development of  The Wildlife Art Museum of Australia.

A visionary project, it is envisaged this Museum will be built on a parcel of land near Halls Gap in the Grampian Ranges, west of Melbourne, Victoria.

The 15 hectares will be landscaped with iconic, indigenous flora, and the wetland will be developed in an environmental and sustainable manner, with advice and support from the Royal Botanical Gardens Cranbourne. The vision foresees designed buildings which will house a gallery space for visiting exhibitions from Australia and overseas and other temporary exhibitions, archival rooms and library, an auditorium and support facilities. A curated permanent collection will be acquired and displayed through time. There  will be  educational and informative areas, and conference facilities. Artists workshops will also be available.

2018 - 2019 saw Pete take up an Artists Residency with Tanks Art Centre, Cairns. This project involved field trips, art workshops, students and an exhibition all focused on the Birds of Cattana. 

Cattana Wetlands are a developing ecological environment some 16 Km north of Cairns.

The exhibition has now finished and some subsidary exhibitions are in the planning. Watch this site.
