Our last workshop for the year was a sell out with Luke Thurgate challenging participants but also guiding them to exceed their expectations. Thanks to Sharron Jones for organising this and making the most of  Luke's visit which was to our advantage. The Port Augusta Music Club's junior musicians' concert brought some new faces into the gallery and demonstrated the versatility of our wonderful space.

A recap on A BRUSH WITH ART ... our visitor tally for the month was 400 + with quite a few sales across the board. Congratulations everyone. The next Exhibition is by PASS senior secondary students who set up on October 30th. Well done Cheryl Fischer for a fantastic felting workshop  The back yard provided the perfect place for this and everyone went home with a beautifully made scarf.     A big thanks to John Sharp for putting up the hanging system at Beyond Bank and also some extra hangers in the smallest gallery. We send our condolences to members Pat, Coral, Kerry and families  following the death of Tom Carter.  Tom was always there behind the scenes at Curdnatta supporting Pat in her creative endeavours.

September and the combination of  people travelling north, Pichi Richi Train trips and A Brush With Art has seen an influx of visitors to the gallery and healthy sales. The next workshop is Cheryl's felting workshop followed by Luke Thurgate's Drawing workshop.  We are really lucky to have someone of Luke's calibre visiting Port Augusta so jump in quickly for the remaining spots. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/myevent?eid=72882392197 PASS senior students exhibition opening will be Wednesday October 30th at 6pm.
