An appreciative group attended on Saturday 30th June and were interested to learn of the influences which have shaped her very successful artistic life.  

Although known locally as the “hat lady” Susan has many other creative talents, including painting, photography and now singing!  Discussion continued over tea and cakes and Marie’s Banana Cake was proclaimed a triumph!

Susan McArthur is a Painter and Milliner who has lived on the North West Coast of Tasmania for the last 20 years.

March Update

Hello Everyone - we are hoping you are enjoying 2012 and staying creative.
We have decided to do away with the newsletter and inform you on any ArtsCape news via this website. We hope this can make it easier to read and more accessible to everyone. The following is our update for March:

The AGM was held on 17th February and your committee was returned with the addition of Josephine Lawrence as Treasurer.  Jo is an accomplished artist and comes with a lot of experience of community arts centre’s in Queensland and we welcome her fresh ideas to ArtsCape.  In her President’s report Alwyn listed many of the achievements over 2011, including all the redecoration work, increase in membership, enthusiasm of user groups such as Stitch and Bitch and Word Players, Leadlighting and Life Drawing classes, projects such as Arty Crafty Tulips, the hugely popular Peter Sargison exhibition and the 4 TRA Touring exhibitions.  She thanked the committee and all members for their contributions and believes that in 2012 “we can look forward to continuing growth and even to more change”!   

At the following Committee meeting on 7th March we started putting plans in place for 2012:

• Sunday 1st April at 2.30pm – Orientation for Volunteers.
  This is open to all members or people wishing to be members and will briefly outline the type of volunteer activities available at ArtsCape.  It will be short and informal and enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee and maybe something sweet! 

• 18th May at 6 pm TRA Exhibition Opening Night
  Birds & Drawing of Raffle for 3 paintings by local artist Brett Colcorde.  Raffle tickets are available at Markets and the Orientation, or through President Alwyn.

• Saturday 19th May from 12 – 2.30pm Vocal Nosh
  This is a fun workshop with Teresa Beck-Swindale and Trudy Dudding and is for anyone who enjoys singing or thinks they can’t sing but would love to have a go!  It covers a diverse mix of simple songs, harmonies, rhythms and learning at least one more challenging song in several parts.   The vocal work is divided into 2 parts with a break for a light lunch and an opportunity to socialise, meet new people and share information.  If enough of us want to continue, Teresa can provide assistance in starting a group.  The cost will be $15. (including lunch) with a maximum number of 20 so get in early!    Book with Janet on janetsell@netspace.net.au

• 30th June Next ArtsCape Talk – speaker TBA

Other plans include a photography exhibition in October, TRA Touring Exhibition in November.

Hope you can find something there that you would love to attend and we look forward to seeing you.

On Saturday 18th February, we are holding a session entitled ArtsCape Talks where we feature a local artist telling how they use  Inspiration for their work.

June Hope, Textile artist and feltmaker will be our first guest in what we plan is a series of ArtsCape Talks throughout the year:

 

Textile artistry using the ancient technique of felt making to create unique contemporary wearable art.

By combining animal fleece with silk and other natural fibres, June makes fabulous felted objects that reflect her love of colour and texture.  June will show results of her art, describe what led her to become an artist and enthuse you to have a go too!

Gold coin Entry

 

Michelle has entered and got down to the top 20 in the  Garnier Ambassador competition. It is aimed at suppoting grass roots projects. The project we want to support is (of course)  Wynyards Artscape, our local community arts centre. Now we must get to the final 10 to win. Good odds!

More than ever we are in need to prove ourselfs to the community and local council. We need to gain support to ensure the projects becomes sustaining and long term. We currently have been running for 7 plus years and we are growing and getting better at our arts practices every year. This is a grass roots project, it runs on community power alone with no funding. This is why support from a company such as this will be vital for our future sustainment.

Please click on this link to vote for us and then please share, share, share(!!!) with everybody you know and even those you don't.

We would be forever grateful. This art center is also the home to our Made with Love Market Bazaar (on tomorrow by the way) and has be come a very important home to the arts in our regional community. We would love to for everyone to get on board and throw their weight behind this project...even if its is just by clicking and linking. I feel all our hard work will be worth it then.

Voting is only open for a month guys , so please do not hesitate.

We Want YOU!!

Happy new year everyone!!

- and with a new year comes new and exciting challenges. This is not the time for you to be whishy-washy with your plans. Now is the time to commit - to make resolutions and achieve some goals in 2012.

At ArtsCape we want you to include us in your artistic plans. We have so many oppourtunities to offer EVERYONE. Regardless of your craft/medium, experience or skills we welcome EVERYONE with open arms!!

Here are some ideas for you to consider:

1. Become a Member - Open to absolutly EVERYONE. You do not need to be an "artist", you just need to be interested in the arts. Click on the page on the side bar to get more information on joining us - the Home of the Arts in Wynyard.
2. Showcase your Talents - Have your own exhibition at Artscape. Currently we are setting out our exhibition calender for 2012. Now is the time to commit to showcasing your art and start your arts career in the right direction. Click on the page in the side bar for more information.
3. Get involved on a personal level - Do you think you have something to offer your community? Well why not get involved in our meetings and even become a committee member. The only way to change your arts community is by actions. We need you and so does your community.  Attend our AGM or nominate yourself for a position on the board this year.
4.  Attend a group or class - In 2012 we will be seeking more classes to offer our members (we are also seeking teachers). Class options will be made public as we accept them into our programs. There are also many groups you can join if you would like to connect to your interests on a more personal level. Many are represented on the side tab so clicky-click on those for more information. If you cant find a group you are looking for why not start your own?? We can help you!
