50Years

 

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.

The Port Augusta City Council will oversee local events to ensure they don't overlap too much.

Management group have explored ways in which we can participate and although the finer details have yet to be decided here is the overview.

“Unearthed and Rediscovered” An Art Exhibition of Hidden Gems.

Step into the extraordinary world of our community art exhibition, where the hidden gems of art and craft find their deserving spotlight. Here, we celebrate the diversity and richness of creativity that often goes unnoticed. Prepare to be captivated by a breathtaking array of artistic expressions, intricate stitching, masterful woodwork, vibrant collections, delightful doodles, sumptuous sculptures and digital dabbling. A world where art and craft intertwine. Let your own imagination take flight as you explore the boundless possibilities of human creativity. Witness the profound impact of individuals compelled to create and driven from within.

Members and the PA community are invited to exhibit creative gems that are rarely seen in public. Those family heirlooms that have been kept for sentimental reasons that demonstrate artistic flair. Personal collections of art and craft. Artists experiments and preparations. Unusual, exotic and quirky pieces. Emerging artists.
