23.01.2022 Lost soles exhibition closes next week

18.01.2022 1st exhibition opens tonight 5pm 'the LOST SOLES of BOOT HILL' Four or five years ago... Rodney and Angus Hipwell put up a ‘Boot Hill’ sign and a few old shoes on the dairy fence. Since then the boots have increased to about 1000 by anonymous donations. The location, on the way to the swimming hole at ‘Ladies Well’ on the Allyn River, is an advantage because people are in a good mood either going to or returning from their swim. The result is an anonymous but truly public a...rtwork that has a great sense of fun and freedom and obviously connects with people. At one stage a chair was put out near the Boot Hill sign and visitors of many nationalities have been seen to stop, go over to the chair, and have their photo taken. One person was seen running along the road... went over and got a pair of shoes to wear then kept running. He returned the shoes the next day. Some shoes have messages or just names have been written on them.

07.01.2022 Visit the boot and hear some music - tonight 5pm James Theatre A program of interesting, quirky, fun, creative visual exhibitions in the James Theatre windows, curated by Brian Doherty during periods when the foyer is not being used. Thank you, Hipwell family, for the first exhibition. It makes a good start to the window displays... it’s fun and relates specifically to the local region.... I also like the fact that it is spontaneous and anonymous anyone can take part in the window project so long as they enter into the sense of good hearted public display. Proposals are most welcome
