 During September we exhibited 'Transformation" as part of the Flinders Ranges A Brush With Art activities across the region. There were quite a few sales with  visitors mostly catching the Afghan Express, bus tours or travelling East to West or West to East. We did promote the other exhibitions and gave out a few passports.   Thanks to Clementine and Anne for hosting this months Family Activity morning. Thanks to everyone who came in and made some sturt peas for the Sturt Pea Festival. The original ideas morphed and changed as we realised we had 2 different concepts emerging. Anne and Georgie will finish the pieces and deliver at the end of October. Members might like to use some of the new display stands that have been purchased to enhance their displays. these can be found in the store room. Our Fringe exhibition has been registered please let us know if you are planning to enter a piece or two. Photographers' theme of Flowers certainly brought out some gorgeous colour...

 This month we continued our Saturday Activities with a focus on drawing. Some were still life and there was also an upside down drawing exercise. Participants could choose between different drawing stations. They were pretty exhausted after an hour with all that concentration :-) After much back and forth correspondence we have been gifted an AED by our landlords the Department of Transport and Infrastructure it is located at the sign in desk. General information about use will be included in the Procedures folder on the desk. You can google the brand and find a range of information about how to use it. Upcoming Exhibitions are  A Brush With Art PASS Senior Secondary Students Art Exhibition.
