'White Rabbits' – it’s November! Well I must say, I am delighted to have the Arts Gold Exhibition at Central Stories in Alexandra all on display and looking fabulous. Guests enjoyed the opening ceremony and we extend our congratulations to Max Bellamy from Dunedin, for winning the Art Excellence award and also to Eric Schusser who won the Central Otago Artist Award. This has been a
major project for the Arts Trust and we hope you get a chance to view the exciting exhibition. If you aren't able to see it in Alexandra, then click here to view our online gallery. Vote for the art work you love the most and you will go in to the draw to win six bottles of fabulous Central Otago wine. Help your favourite artist win the $1,000 'Viewers' Choice Award'. Winners will be announced on the 5th December.
As you will see below, there are a number of good things happening around our region over the next month. Alexandra's annual ‘Thyme Festival’ runs from the 9th - 17th of November with a fine program of events and workshops running throughout the week. There are all sorts of events, including a professional Puppet Show as well as many great activities to take part in - learn how to edit your Go Pro footage or try the art of screen printing. I’m facilitating a Pecha Kucha evening on Saturday the 16th November. I have rounded up eight very interesting presenters and it’s always a fun night out.
That’s all from me - it will officially be summer by the time I send the next arts newsletter and Christmas will be just around the corner. That's a little scary!
Regards
Maxine
