INKTOBER
A bit of fun for artists. 
Inktober was created  in 2009 as one person's challenge to improve  inking skills and develop positive drawing habits, it is now a world wide online event.
The idea is to create one drawing a day and share it with others, this can be done online or as a shared collection of work to be displayed at the gallery.
You can find more information here if you want to follow the rules and have access to the prompt list. https://inktober.com

If you don't want to follow the official rules but would like to participate as part of our Art Group activity.
* Create your own focus for the month. 
* Create something often.
* Share it in our Artists' Chat Group.   https://www.facebook.com/groups/curdnattaartistschat
*Bring in your favourite pieces for display on a wall in the gallery. Small card size pieces would be good then you can use them for cards later :-}
Similar to our display at Sofie's Workshop.

INK is the key element - how and what you use it is up to you.... HAVE FUN!

We have been at the Platform Gallery 5 years this month... here are some memories.

Thank you to all members who have:  * reported breakages, and the presence of youths frequenting the building in the evenings. Please contact police if this continues. *come forward to assist with cleaning up broken glass and rearranging areas of the gallery and store rooms. * alerted Port Augusta Secondary School about students loitering around the railway station. On Thursday 8th June personnel from Department Infrastructure and Transport  and Ventia visited the Railway Station and Gallery to assess how things might be improved. Discussion included replacing glass with perspex.... (other additional features can't be added due to the heritage listing of the building). Floors and walls were also measured in readiness for repair and painting following the storm damage last year so there will be some disruptions to the gallery sometime in the near future. T

  A member since 1973 Georgie Sharp celebrated 50 years involvement with the Arts and Curdnatta Art Group with an exhibition at Yarta Purtli gallery this month. Thanks to the members who attended the opening it was great to get back to socialising after the restrictive covid years. Thanks to Morgan and Carly for the images. Georgie's scarves depicted some of the techniques she has explored over time including screen printing, marbling, photography, pastels, ink painting and digital drawings and designs.  PORT AUGUSTA FRINGE  Venues and artists have been invited to be part of the FRINGE in Port Augusta during February/March in 2024.
