Hello

ARTS NEWSLETTER JULY 2012

Kia ora,

I hope everyone is staying warm. It's great there has been some sunshine to melt these heavy frosts and put a bit of blue into the monotones of winter.

I have friends from Aussie coming to stay with me for a week at a time when many of us want to escape to the warmth over there. I’m not sure how they will cope with this inhospitable climate, but more to the point, my big old house was built for summer, not winter. Hopefully they will be so overwhelmed by our beautiful scenery without a gum tree in sight that they might not notice the cold - but I doubt it!

Have a look at the great new page on the arts website called WORKSHOPS. There are a few interesting opportunities there for you to get out and try something new to get your creative juices flowing. This page can be utilised by anyone offering art-related workshops in Central Otago. Just send me the details to include on the page.

Kathi McLean from REAP would like to hear from visual and performing artists for the next Art in the Garden she is organizing for January 5th-6th 2013. For more information call her on 03 4486115 or email kathi@coreap.org.nz

Have a browse though the events below and try to get out and support something in your area. It's how we become a healthy, creative community and it is a great way to share experiences.

Cheers for now

Maxine
