‘Art vs Advertising – the great debate’ hosted by Vic Youngbloods and the Lighthouse Foundation Oct 5th @ at 27 Gipps Street Gallery, Richmond
Is the Pentel Sign Pen mightier than the paintbrush?
From the cream of Melbourne’s Art and Advertising community, who will reign supreme?
These questions and the oft-pondered debate topic: ‘Can something as commercial as advertising ever be considered art?’ will be answered in Art vs. Advertising – The Great Debate hosted by Vic Youngbloods in association with the 8th Annual Lighthouse Art Auction on October 5th.
Chaired by Clemenger BBDO chief executive Peter Biggs (pictured) and featuring Sean Cummins, David Ponce de Leon, Ken Taylor, Fysh Rutherford, Erin Gallagher and Ned Dwyer, this is set to be a rumble to remember.
Every ticket sold will receive a signed A2 poster of the debate artwork by Vic Youngbloods and illustrated by Melanie Matthews of the Jacky Winter Group. Priced at $20, all proceeds from tickets sold will go to the Lighthouse Foundation, a guiding light for 75,000 homeless under 25.
Drinks, nibbles and of course, the signed poster, included. From 7pm for 8pm start on Wednesday Oct. 5 at 27 Gipps Street Gallery, Richmond.

I’ll be heading to this, should be an enjoyable night!
Do it for the kids.
No seriously, all proceeds go top the lighthouse foundation. And you can get suitably tipsy and a signed poster for $20 clams. Good value friends.
