Art sites around Newtown?

Planning for the Newtown Art Project is ticking along nicely.

We now have a full schedule of artist workshops which will be advertised and open for people to sign up from sometime in early February. All workshops will be just a gold coin donation to participate.

We are really in need of a few more artists who want to open their studio's to the public and be on the art trail. If you are keen, or know of people who might be -please put the word out. We are also keen to hear of any other art sites around Newtown you think should be on the trail?

Merry Christmas!

The Newtown Art project is an initiative of the Newtown Community and Cultural Centre. It is all about encouraging and celebrating creativity in Newtown and making art accessible to everyone. The project will include; a community exhibition- held at the Newtown Community and cultural centre (Cnr of Colombo and Rintoul sts), a trail of Newtown based Art sites (galleries, artists studios and spectacular artistic interventions!), And a series of artist run workshops open to the community.
There will also be other quirky, weird and wonderful things happening which we will let you know more about closer to the time.
All this is scheduled to happen from the 5th to the 11th of March 2010.

If you are interested in being involved, would like more info or feel like a chat... flick us an email; newtown.community.centre@paradise.net.nz or call us on; 04 389 4786

Watch this space... as time goes by we will be posting workshop schedules, artist profiles and places to be!

cheers,
Anna and Becky
