20.01.2022 We are hoping Maitland Regional Art Gallery will keep them up for a few more days. We were surprises by the wonderful images you guys have created, because it is not the easiest canvas to work on

19.01.2022 For 10 days in February/March 2021, selected artists will team up with Maitland High Street business owners to display original and exciting visual artworks in participating shop windows of the Maitland CBD. What you need to do If you would like to be part of this third ARTASTIQUE event, go to our website, www.artastique.com - have a read of the Terms and Conditions and fill in the Application Form.

19.01.2022 This year we have seen some really good presentations and collaborations between the artist and the shop owner. Every window has it's own challenges. There are easy windows with an instant good stage and there are windows that demand for some gear to install. There are businesses with almost no windows. But we all are learning every year how to get the best out of every little corner in High Street. It was a tight race ... But the 'Best Window Prize' for this year went tooooo...ooo ...... Anna Eggenhuizen with a cash prize of $500 ..... and Karina Armstrong of Hunted with a dinner voucher of $200 to spend at Fratelli Roma. Anna brought in a beautiful old door to hang her artworks on, finished with a cute little fence and fairy lights at night. Karina collaborated and generously offered half of her window space. Congratulations Anna and Karina

15.01.2022 It seems like the 10 days of Artastique were 4 years ago, instead of just 4 weeks. The whole experience has been a bit overwritten, but I still want to finish some loose ends. In the link you will find the results of the survey. https://www.artastique.com/uncategorized/survey/

15.01.2022 Don't forget to pop in our giant Head Quarters at 395 High St (next to Ken Lane). There you find a lot more artworks in all kind of styles and price ranges.

15.01.2022 Some Artastiquers are lucky to get a mini shop instead of a shop window Sonja Elise Art

14.01.2022 I love to see shop owners helping the artist to get the most out of it. The event is meant to be worthwhile for both Cheryl Bruce Creativ at So-Lo Prices Maitland

05.01.2022 Things are spreading without us interfering. That's exactly what we are aiming for!

04.01.2022 This makes me so happy :) Ebony Bennett - Birdwood Illustrations Preah Ko

04.01.2022 All Artastique artists have been asked to create 1 small artwork of 6 x 8 inch.The artworks are (and already have been) sold for only $20 with the purpose to have something affordable for everyone. The proceeds will be donated to Animals Australia & Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia. The artworks that came in since last week were so precious and beautifully done. It was tempting to buy them all myself :) You all really did a wonderful job and it was so interesting to see the artist's distinctive style back in a mini-version of their usual large sizes. THANK YOU SO MUCH ARTASTIQUE ARTISTS - WE LOVE YOU (and the doctors and animals too ;) )

04.01.2022 After we had closed Artastique Head Quarters halfway March, I had transferred the profits from the donated small artworks to the charities (25% to Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia and 75% to Animals Australia). After the ThankYou emails Reid Dearson of Animals Australia added an extra question: "This is just a quick email to say a huge thank you for your generous donation to Animals Australia on the 20th of this month. I have attached a receipt to this email for you a...nd I’d love to hear a bit more about what prompted your contribution was it a fundraising event at all?" So, I explained to him what you all already know:: Hi Reid, Thank you for your interest in the reason for this donation. In the beginning of March we organised an art event in Maitland (called Artastique), by having 60 artists showing their artworks in 60 shop windows. We did this to help boosting the attraction of Maitland to get more visitors. The artworks were for sale and 100% of the profit was for the artists themselves. A few weeks before the event we asked every artist to create 1 artwork on a small canvas of 6 x 8 inch. These artworks were for sale for only $20 dollars with the intention to have something affordable for everyone. The profit of these artworks were intended for 2 charities. And one of them was Animals Australia :) Here you can see a video of the little artworks: https://www.facebook.com/inmaitland/videos/136635050992641/ At the end of March Reid replied: Thank you for getting back to me and I absolutely love this idea! You’ve all done a tremendous job and the artworks were beautiful I particularly like the first abstract, colourful one on the video. Keep an eye on your mailbox over the next couple of weeks as we will be sending you a little something in the post. Would you like me to sign you up to our e-updates so you can keep abreast of the campaigns and victories you are helping us work through? I hope you’re all keeping safe and well during this extraordinary time and thank you so much again for all of your efforts on behalf of those animals who need us the most. Because of this weird last month I had totally forgotten our email conversation, but today we got a parcel. AND LOOK WHAT WE GOT! Yes, YOU TOO Artastiquers!!! Isn't that sweet and thoughtful?!

02.01.2022 Our most experimental artist! Maitland based writer, creative and performing artist Matt Petherbridge has installed his @mylifesworkworldtour installation for Artastique 2020 at The Bikesmith and Espresso Bar Cheekily expanding on the original concept of ‘art in the windows’, Matt has written 15 original artistic/poetic pieces, thematically linked by ‘beauty/light/struggle/resolve’.... Matt has performed at a number of Verses Poetry events since the programs inception in 2017, just one of the many creative projects he has undertaken in what he refers to as ‘My Life’s Work World Tour’. In his words... ‘It’s been a massive undertaking, and a real combination of my passion for writing and art, can’t wait for you all to see it. Come in for a coffee and take it all in’.
