The Curvy launch and bonus art show is stretching its pretty pink wings out for another year. To celebrate the release of the super 6th edition of the Curvy book, Mel Baxter and Nine Lives (yes, the all-boy gallery has decided it needs a little less dick and a little more chick) are hosting an all girl exhibition to coincide with the Brisbane leg of the national book launch tour.
Nine Lives will be transformed into the matriarchal pink palace for one weekend. The limited edition Curvy book will be available for purchase, and the walls will be decked out with a group exhibition from a handful of Brisbane's top female artists including Elana Mullaly, Ellen Stapleton, Courtney Brims, Mel Stringer and Yuki Nakano.
Brisbane is lucky enough to have some of its fabulous girl artists taking up a good portion of Curvy 6's pages. The exhibition adds an extra dimension by being able to see these remarkable ladies' work off the page. The past three Brisbane openings have been ragingly popular so keep in mind to be fashionably punctual.
P.S - It wouldn't be a complete all-chick exhibition without cupcakes and pink sparkling, now would it?
