We were once again delighted to be part Alphington Open Studios this year.

And personally it was just lovely to come to work and be surrounded by fabulous art!

I hope you made it along here and to the studios open across the neighbourhood.

Thanks Katie Roberts.

Thanks Sharon West.

Thanks Maxine O’Brien.

If you are here this week and would like to contribute to our solar light project please put your hand up and we’ll give you the materials to make one! We’d love you to contribute.

Oyr little hill of dreams is coming along now, with lots more lights added this week.

When it rains fabulous arts and creative community events in Alphington, it pours it seems!

This coming weekend is the start of Alphington Open Studios - our annual event where local artists exhibit works here at ACC, in the Parklands, and in home studios dotted across our suburb.

Grab the map and check them out.

If you come to our Christmas market you’ll be able to go inside and see works by Sharon West, Katie Roberts and Maxine O’Brien and find out about all the other artists who are part of this wonderful neighbourhood event.

Coming up at the end of the month, we’re super excited to be hosting three artists this year - Sharon West, Katie Roberts and Maxine O’Brien.

Put the dates in your diary and take a stroll through the neighbourhood to experience another great year of local art.

On the first Saturday (25 November) you’ll also be able to get your Christmas shopping done at our Christmas Makers Market.

We love supporting local artists and also love creating opportunities for new people from the neighbourhood to engage with our centre. So thanks once again to everyone who came along to the Winter Arts Exhibition this year.

And a special thank you to the artists that volunteered their time to promote the event, hang the work and manage the space over the weekend.

Here are some photos from the open night.
