Green Poppy Art Summit

Some news from a Life Drawing group meeting


 at Shellharbour Village.


 The venue was Julie Core's "Green Poppy" fine


 foods and winery cafe.


 Alyssa chaired the meet which was attended by


 myself, Jo Mannisto and her mum, Nikki, Monique,


 Freda"Banksey", and tailed by Karen.


What is to become of our


 drawing group which


 has completed its tenancy at 


Shellcove Community Centre ?


We discussed alternative venues


 and future proposals for class content


 and organisation. We need a free venue so that we can


 keep costs down and pay our models. Any suggestions


 out there in Cyber space ?


In the meantime we are going to meet


 AT FRIEND'S HOMES,


 the first will be Freda "Banksey" on


Melbourne Cup evening.


 Still Life is the program and not Freda's


 husband as was suggested. 


After checking his photo, I think


 he would be a great "still life"....so on 


with the show.


Then the subject of the new Exhibition space


 at Shellharbour which is accepting proposals


 for future gallery showings. 


We are still not decided about that, but I


 am going to put in a proposal anyway, 


as I need an 


annual venue for my exhibitions.

eclectic gifts and jewelry

coffee, and bar

great meeting space and cafe style dining

Julie is such a lovely host, and the tea, juice


 and raisin toast and great personal service 


worked a treat in massaging


 both our egos and our enthusiasm to forge ahead. 


Thanks Julie and staff. Public acknowlegdement of 


our group is vital if we are to continue on, and


 Shellharbour Village provides the perfect backdrop. 


The atmosphere is very conducive to artistic


 development at the moment with the Exhibition


 Centre opening, finally, on the 27th October.


 Bravo...bravo...bravo...!
