“connecting our community”
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.
Thanks everyone who came along over the weekend to check out our exhibition. It was super once again. We had lots of new artists and some long standing artists participate. Around 65 works were in the show which was just great!
I’ll post some more pictures this week - but in the meantime here’s a photo of it being hung on Thursday evening - featuring Beatrice and Rob.
And a photo from Friday lunch ‘in the gallery’. Thanks CWA for the yummy meal!
Thanks to everyone who entered works, helped hang or mind the gallery and of course those that came along and bought art to support our local artists.
If you missed it, keep the Alphington Open Studios on your radar - on in late November/early December.
Coming up in 2 weekends! If you are a beginner or more established artist you can join in our exhibition. Click here.
Love arty or doing artsy-type things???? Join us for drinks on Friday night from 5-7pm (18 August) or pop in Saturday or Sunday 19-20 August from 10am-4pm to see the works on display … It is great when we all come together to support and celebrate our creative community!
Our Term 3 program is out on our website - and bookings are open. You can book in here.
We have a spot left in our Women in the Shed program. And a series of repair workshops coming up … book in if you have a sewing machine or overlocker - and learn basic troubleshooting and how to keep them in tip top condition.
Separate booking processes (directly with the tutors) are in place for our new Artful Painting and Drawing with Clare, Meditation with Susanna and Japanese Playgroups with Miami. Also Yoyo’s violin lessons. See our brochure for the details.
And there’s lots more in there as well …
We’re looking forward to seeing you after the holidays.we reopen on Monday 10 July.
We’ve got a new brochure out for Semester 2. Hooray! It is full of lots of fun things to do. Here’s a a quick taste.
We’ll be running a new event - a Neighbourhood Dinner. It is on Tuesday 8 August (pretty soon) at 6pm. It is a ‘pot luck’ type dinner and you are invited to bring a plate of food to share and come along to sit down and chat and meet your neighbours. And we’ll probably need your help tidy up at the end. It is open for all ages and it would be super if you could RSVP by booking in here. Just so we can at least take guess at how many will be coming!
We have two courses starting in Term 3. Our introduction course will run on Thursday morning at 10am-12pm. This course costs $105 and is subsidised by ACFE funding. Then on Thursday afternoon we are offering an intermediate course that is full fee paying. In this class participants who have completed the beginners course can work on their own projects, still with a tutor available for supervision and continued learning. You can book in to both here.
It is on again on the 19-20 August! We’ll organise drinks on the opening Friday night. Email us if you are an artist keen to join in and we’ll send you the link to enter works when we are back on deck. If you want to buy a ticket to the opening you can do so here.
Supported by Sustainability Victoria, who are investing in building a repair culture in our community, we’re offering a series of 6 workshops over the coming semester to help build community skills to keep things out of landfill. Check them out and book in to the ones with dates here.
Clare is running a new painting and drawing class here on Monday afternoons. it should be super! You can book in directly with her here.
Local Susanna has approached us about running meditation classes on Wednesday evenings. We’ll put out more information in the coming days, but it should be super. Get in contact with her if you’d like to find out more on 0407561586.
