Please join us for our July webinar, in which we'll look back over the history and activities of the Colour Society of Australia, and look forward to the future including our national conference in Sydney on October 31 to November 2, and opportunities for members old and new to become more involved in the Society's efforts.
AIC Interim Meeting, Sydney 1991
Part One: Looking Back (30 minutes)
In Part One, CSA founding member Nick Harkness will talk about the history of the Society at a national level and its activities, including fourteen national conferences and two International Colour Association (AIC) meetings, the 1991 Interim Meeting, held just a few years after the formation of the society, and the huge 2009 Congress in Sydney. Then WA Division Chair and national President Mike Dixon and NSW Division Chair and national Vice President David Briggs will review the incredible range of events held by their Divisions in recent years, both to mark these achievements and to provide food for thought for coming events.
Part Two: The National Conference, Colour Matrix Sydney 2025 (15 minutes)
In Part Two, the NSW Division committee will give a preview of the speakers, presentations and hands-on activities lined up for the CSA national conference in Sydney on October 31 to November 2. We have a full program of some twenty five presentations in sessions on Colour Science (5), Colour Education (5), Environmental Colour Design (5), Colour in Indigenous Cultures (2) and Colour in Art and Art Materials (8), as well as hands-on activities spanning most of these areas. Registration for the conference will open on the night.

Part Three: The Future (15 minutes)
The work of the Society can only continue if our members keep stepping up to become involved at a regional and national level. In Part Three Nick, Mike and David will discuss ideas for the future of the Society including how we continue to interact with a membership scattered over a continent the size of Australia and beyond. An exciting recent development has been the formation of a "Colour Club" by our members iin Canberra, initially for the purpose of informal, in-person gatherings but in the last year initiating five excellent installments of our webinar series. It would be great to see this idea being taken up elsewhere! We'll finish by opening up the meeting to all attendees to hear your ideas and to answer any questions you might have about how you can become more involved in the Society.
Registration
Registration is essential by midnight AEST on July 24 and is now open for CSA members and nonmembers. Limit: 100 registrants. Successful registrants will be notified by reply email and will be sent the Zoom link and instructions shortly before the event.
