Winter Arts Exhibition

We are expecting to have about 30 artists as part of our Winter Arts Exhibition this year. What we really love about this exhibition is that it is so inclusive. Anyone can enter works. So … some works are by well established artists whilst others are by emerging artists. It is lovely to see the mix!

The Exhibition runs Saturday and Sunday 10am - 4pm, with a fun opening night on this Friday from 5 - 7pm. Come along!

We are thrilled that our AAA Arts group will enter some works this year. Our access all abilities programs are run by staff but supported by generous locals who volunteer their time weekly to help us ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity to do the things they most enjoy.

Here are some process pictures.

Winter Arts Exhibition

Are you a local artist? Come and join in our annual Winter Arts Exhibition on the weekend of 16-18 August.

You can find out all the details and book in here.

The event includes our Opening Night from 5-7pm on Friday 16 August where our whole community is invited to come along and appreciate the local talent! We’ll have drinks and finger food. It’ll be fun.

Then on Saturday and Sunday the exhibition will also be open from 10am-4pm for anyone to drop in.

We hope to see you there!

The key …

Last term our community arts project was called ‘The Key …’ and we invited people passing on the street to write their thoughts on a key tag in relation to 3 questions.

As each round finished we put all the keys 🔑 in a jar on our bench … and now we are enjoying having lots of good vibes and thoughtful ideas infiltrating our subconscious as we pass by the jars each day.

Take a look next time you are here. Thanks to everyone who joined in!

Alphington Arts - basket weaving

Alphington Arts, our new night time arts group will kick off on Thursday 18 July at 7.30pm. The idea behind this group is that we keep costs down by different people sharing their creative knowledge and skills. We’ll have 4 sessions over the coming semester (2 per term).

And first up we’ll be exploring basket weaving with Kayti Murphy. You may have seen Kayti’s baskets at our makers markets - or bought her teatowels and/or pickled radishes.

Thanks so much Kayti for volunteering to share your knowledge and skills.

So … if you are keen to join in you can join up for the semester here.

And then come along for some low key creative evenings. BYO drinks and/or snacks to share if you are so inclined.
