12.01.2022 Another step back in time to the 2016 Arc Drawing Prize with our guest judge and speaker John Woolsley. He kept everyone enamoured for quite some time as he announced and spoke about the winning entries. Our wonderful arc volunteers also deserve a feature too.

11.01.2022 There was plenty of glazing of pottery on Sunday in preparation for a firing. Can’t wait to see the kiln open when the firing is finished. Not as much as those who made the work as we had to wait for the kiln to be ready for firing and then Covid restrictions hit! We are hoping next year that workshops will be happening on a regular basis. Keep watching Facebook and Instagram for details.

07.01.2022 Back in 2016 a few of us restored and upgraded the existing Cow mural on the front of the arc building. It was originally painted back in the 1980s and stood the test of time with no graffiti! The paint was starting to breakdown so we cleaned it and repainted two sections with new designs and painted over the other sections to freshen them up. The artists and volunteers include Sharon Anderson, Ronald Edwards, Liz Tyler, Dana Flahavin, Ray Woolley, Klaire Anderson, Amanda Thompson, Cheryl Bickham, Yinnar Primary School, Boolarra Primary school and more!
