From your chairperson Helen
Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that 2012 will be a good year
for you. The people who attended our Christmas Party at Diggers really
enjoyed themselves; we all had a lovely meal. Thank you Kerry & Rae
for the goodie bags.
Our gallery was very sucessful in the weeks leading up to Christmas
with lots of sales, we are becoming known for our art and craft items
that we sell there. We have people comming back looking for things
that are often already sold, not bad for our first year, should just
keep getting better.
We are all busy making more items for sale, and we have ican`s 10th
birthday comming up in March so it would be good to participate in
that exhibition. Anything about the word or letter 10 will be great.
We are also knitting to wrap trees and chairs so if you can help out
it would be good to see you. 19th January is a LOVE workshop which
means making things for the February exhibition as it incorporates
Valentine’s Day.

Thirroul Festival - ART ALIVE! - 2012

 

 

From: Ian & Christine Hill [mailto:hillsco@tpg.com.au]
Sent: Monday, 7 November 2011 12:52 PM
Fest Ian Brown; Thirroul Fest Holly Gay
Subject: Thirroul Festival - ART ALIVE! - 2012

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Artists,

 

The Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival is now planning events for next year. It sounds a long way off, but we hope you will give some thought to your calendar for the 'usual' date - that cross-over weekend between March and April, next year.

 

For the artists working in the street, the name has been changed.  Art Alive! is the name and Saturday 31st March 2012 is the day for setting up your painting, drawing or craftwork in the street or in Jackson Park.

 

This event runs at no cost to the artists. Artists creating their paintings and drawings or their craft are all welcome, and provide interest and colour for the festival, whilst being able to show their skills to the visiting public and have some finished items, such as original work or cards available for sale. You will have space for your painting gear, a single table and shade umbrella, but not space for a market stall set-up.

 

It is envisaged that artists will either stand alone or in groups through the town or in Jackson Park (and maybe around the Community Centre this time).  Since last year, Jackson Park has been provided with seating and some young trees, and the children's events and Animal Farm are expected to be set up there as usual. It may even be possible to have artists in the beachside park on the Sunday, in a separate grassed area to the north of the main events, if there is enough interest.

 

Several artists might like to get together and design a hands-on activity for the public, and this would be very popular and might attract a sponsor's contribution for materials. Let us know if you have any ideas!

 

More information will be sent after Christmas, but please do consider making this a date in your diary, to paint in the open - maybe paint 'the scene' - engage with potential customers and certainly have a lot of fun!

 

Please let us know if you would like to participate in Art Alive! next year; if you have artist friends who would like to be included, send us their details or ask them to contact us.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Christine Hill and Carol Roderick
