ACC is closed on Monday and Tuesday for the long weekend.

We hope you have a great break (the weather looks super) and we’ll see you bright eyed and bushy tailed on the other side.

November is going to be an amazing month for art and music 🎵 in our neighbourhood - with Art for All at Fairfield Primary School and Music from the Wetlands on the same weekend (luckily there’s enough time to do both!) … followed by the Open Studios weekends - and our end of year Makers Market on the last Saturday of November. How fun!

We’re once again planning our Christmas Makers Market. This year it is coming up on Saturday 25 November, 11am-2pm.

Save the date and come along to buy locally made gifts, have lunch and let your kids get creative with some Christmas nature craft.

If you are keen to be involved book your stall here.

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.
