Local artists … do you want to be part of the Alphington Open Studios salon exhibition coming up in late November and early December here at ACC? We’re looking for creative locals to participate. You can enter 2 works. Find out more and sign up here. It is free to enter.

On Friday afternoons Clare runs a AAA Arts program here at ACC that is supported by two lovely volunteers - Corrado and Hazel. With so many hands on deck the program can be tailored to follow participants different interests - which is just fabulous. Lately they have been exploring ideas around paint manipulation, printmaking and collage.

The program itself is underpinned by a grant from our lovely and amazing banking friends, Clifton HIll and North Fitzroy Community Bank on Queens Parade.

We’re super excited to be partnering with local artists across the neighbourhood once again as part of the annual Alphington Open Studios weekends.

At ACC we are hosting the salon exhibition, that features two works from every artist who is part of the event, and other local artists are invited to be part of it as well!

To join in just register here. It is free, with a small fee charged for processing any works sold.

Alphington Open Studios will run on 26/27 November (with opening night drinks here at ACC on Friday 25 November) and will remain open the following weekend - 3/4 December.

Daisies in our still.life paintings this week. What will it be next week? If you have some flowers 💐 in your garden to update one or all of our artworks please don’t hesitate to add them in or change out the arrangements. They’re on the fence awaiting your inspiration!

Thanks Yarra City Arts for supporting this participatory art project.

Geraniums and lavender … spring is here!
