 Demonstrations & Activity Nights

 
​Activity Nights are held on the 4th
Monday of each month from 7.00 - 9.00 pm at the Louis Joel Arts & Community Centre, 5 Sargood Street, Altona.   Members (Free) and guests ($10) are all welcome.
​

​Participants in HBAS activities are required to conform to the COVID rules of the organization where the activity is being held.   This normally requires the participant to have a valid COVID vaccination certificate or an authorised medical exemption.

Up and coming Activity Nights.....

Monday 27 February, 7-9pm : Jos van Hulsen
​FREE for all participants

For the first Activity night for 2023, come along to the Louis Joel Centre and hear Jos van Hulsen, the artist who constructed the large sculpture outside Louis Joel Gallery, showcasing his industrial sculptures and other artwork with found materials.

Jos is an artist, sculptor and furniture maker from West Footscray who scours his environment for the found objects he conjures into works of art. Jos is one of the partners in Post Industrial Design and is the principal Artist/designer for the store. Jos's breadth of works ranges from large sculptural works along Eastlink to small sculptural works for the home. He also is a furniture maker, tinkerer and mad inventor. In both his Art and Design work Jos is inspired by industrial objects. 

​“Past cultures have been remembered for what they preserved, this century will be remembered for what it throws away. My work is concerned with transforming discarded materials into something new. My interest lies in combining histories, materials from different contexts, times and places.”

​
Jos is regularly commissioned to do customised work for private clientele, Architects, Interior Designers and Landscape Architects. The gates in the slide show below are one example.

​
Jos and his partner also have a gallery in Footscray, where their Christmas window displays attract crowds annually. 
For more information on Jos’s work and philosophy, check out his web site at https://postindustrialdesign.com.au/collections/designed-by-jos-van-hulsen​
