 We launched our ART IN FULL BLOOM at the SPRING SOIREE on September 24th. If you weren't there you missed a lovely evening surrounded by great art and good people.  The catering team provided a stunning supper as usual. Stylists had the gallery looking spectacular and we thank the Port Augusta Garden Club for providing some gorgeous displays that made the gallery come alive.  John Sharp's laid back music completed the vibe and  visitors complimented us on our efforts. This months Family Activities day was well attended with feedback indicating people enjoy attending. It wont be long before we need to consider whether we want to continue in 2026. If this is to happen we will need more volunteer artists as the few people who participated the last 2 years are running out of ideas. The Photographer's new theme is "HATS".

 As we reach the end of the financial year we celebrate another interesting and productive year at The Platform. The Family Activity Days have been a highlight, bringing loads of energy and smiling faces into the gallery. A huge thank you to the artists who have facilitated the interesting range of art activities each third Saturday. Fridays have become more alive as we have opened them up to all artists and crafters welcome any Friday. People just bring along their latest project to work on or pop in for a chat.

The Cricut workshop was a success and there will probably be another at a later date. Photos with the most likes this month on the FB group. The work on the windows has begun and should be completed quickly if the pace so far is anything to go by.
