It was always the same site for the last 2 years, with no change at all!! Same content.. Same layout.. What can I say? Too boring!!
It’s much better idea to have a fresh, interactive, content-rich website; a kind of place for information exchange, for sharing interesting news and thoughts. A bit of my voice but always more room to yours.
So would you like to join me ? . . .
Then come on in ! !

The resale royalty scheme, established under the Resale Royalty Right for Visual Artists Act 2009, commenced on 9 June 2010. Under the scheme, artists are eligible to receive five per cent of the sale price when their original works are resold through the art market for $1000 or more. The resale royalty right applies to works by living artists and for a period of 70 years after an artist’s death.
The scheme covers original works of art, such as a painting, a collage, a drawing, a print, a sculpture, a ceramic, an item of glassware or a photograph.
The resale royalty right applies only on resales where the seller acquires a work after the resale royalty legislation takes effect.
The Act provides that the scheme will be administered by a collecting society appointed by the Minister. In early 2010, the Government conducted an open tender process to identify a collecting society to administer the scheme, and the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) was announced as the successful tenderer.
On 27 May 2010, CAL was appointed as the collecting society to administer the scheme under the Act for a five-year period.
The Australian Government committed to introducing a resale royalty right for visual artists in its 2007 election policy statement, New Directions for the Arts.
The Government announced funding of $1.5 million over three years in the 2008–09 Budget to support the scheme’s establishment.
For further information about the scheme’s operation, including details of how artists, art market professionals, purchasers and sellers of artworks can comply with the Act, contact CAL at:

A short while ago three friends of mine, (Nur Demirbilek – Illumination Art, Australia; Esengul Inalpulat – Marbling Art, Turkey; Suleyman Berk – Calligraphy Art, Turkey) and I (miniature art) formed an art group; named ‘Tulip & Waratah Group’, inspiring from two distinctive flowers in Australian and Turkish cultures.
Our 1st exhibition opened on July 3rd in Bursa, Turkey, and will remain open until July13th 2010.
The sound of art exhibition in hamam seems a bit odd; but in fact, that place, Ordekli Hamam, is a 600-yrs-old fascinating building. After serving as hamam for centuries it becomes a ruin for the last 100 years until its restoration couple years ago by the Municipality of Osman Gazi in Bursa. Now it is serving as a cultural centre and is truly amazing; just look at the pictures here to see what I mean.
If you want to read more about its history just follow this link; sadly, Turkish only:
