25.01.2022 Great session yesterday with lots of great ideas around the site, the creative process and what the finished art pieces might look like AND the technology was great! We have another Zoom session booked for Saturday April 18 at 1.30 pm. If you'd like to become involved send an email to [email protected]... Looking forward to seeing you on line in a few weeks time.

24.01.2022 We've had to reschedule one of our design workshops. Join us now on March 28 and (new date) April 18. More details in the events tab.... Wellington Shire Council Bond Street Event Centre Gippsland Art Gallery Gippsland Regional Arts - Sale Wellington Shire Youth Council Gippsland Times

22.01.2022 Big thanks for the support from GIppsland Art Gallery Sale.

17.01.2022 Some lovely coverage in the local paper with great pics! Not mentioned but vitally important was the support of the local Vic Roads team and the local Bunnings store who also used their contacts to get Dulux on board too . Many thanks to everyone, whatever role you played. ... Enjoy the art!

17.01.2022 Many thanks to local paper the Gippsland Times for their coverage of our project. Come along tomorrow and find out more. Wellington Shire Council Latrobe Valley Authority Wellington Shire Youth Council ABC Gippsland Gippsland Art Gallery East Gippsland Art Gallery

14.01.2022 Another great on line meeting this afternoon. New faces on board and new ideas too! Our artist, Jeremy will now work on some further designs which we'll show to everyone in coming weeks. Thanks to all who spared some time to be involved. ... It's been a wonderful process to witness and be a small part of.

14.01.2022 Hello little fella! The work on the second panel has commenced. More to come over the week.

14.01.2022 OK It's time to jump on board! Thanks for the 'likes' and comments but the only way to help be a part of the design process for this art work is to be in front of your computer on Saturday afternoon for the design workshop. Our artist Jeremy will be presenting some draft sketches based on the first two workshops so come along and see what he's got in mind - it won't be this Banksy image I'd feel confident in suggesting! ... Send an email to [email protected] and I'll send you the log in details later this week.

13.01.2022 Well. There we are. Two years with a bit of on and off fundraising, community input oh and a pandemic but at the end of it all we have three striking art works surrounded by the wonderful Sale Wetlands and Thomson River. All on the entrance path to Sale’s premier tourist attraction the Historic Swing Bridge. ... Thank you to the members of the community who assisted with the design. Those that contributed money such as Latrobe Valley Authority, John Leslie Foundation and the Wellington Shire. Those that gave great assistance through donations in kind, most notably VicRoads Gippsland, Bunnings (Sale) and Dulux paints. And not to forget Gippsland Regional Arts (Sale) for overseeing the whole project. This phase of the project is complete. If someone in the community would like to steer the next phase towards a conclusion that would be marvellous. As our marvellous artist Jeremy Kaspar says at the base of the third mural ‘to be continued...?’

13.01.2022 Great initial design workshop today to discuss some of the themes for the murals on Swing Bridge Drive. Here is a quick snap-shot of some of the stuff we chatted about from Project Principal Artist Jeremy Kaspar. Want to get involved? Great! We have two more design workshops - March 21 and March 28. Both at the Port of Sale Building, Foster Street, Sale.... Both workshops commence at 1.30pm. Come for half an hour or stay till 4pm each day. We'd love to see you there.

11.01.2022 Lovely work at the new community garden behind Lake Gutteridge by our very own artist Jeremy Kasper. Our own project has been approved by all parties and we are busy ordering paints, scissor lifts and other equipment. We hope to be on site hard at it by mid-September. ... Thanks for your input up to this point.

10.01.2022 We need your help! Join us to create a stunning design for the Swing Bridge Drive site this Saturday without leaving your home! With our site for the design workshop closed due to Corona Virus safety measures we're taking the workshop on line and will be using the Zoom platform to get people together. It's really easy to use and very effective.... Send us an email to [email protected] to sign up. Online workshops will begin at 2pm. Workshops will go for around 40 minutes with an option of extending them or hosting other sessions if we get a lot of people interested. Workshop has a limited capacity so get in touch quickly. And lets be honest...what else is there to do?

09.01.2022 Our friend has some company with more trees, reflections and colour to engage with. How’d you think it’s looking? Wellington Shire Council VicRoads

05.01.2022 Day three. More detail and colour for our friend. Having seen the draft final design I am amazed at how cleverly Jeremy has taken a drawing on a much smaller canvas and transferred it to this 20 meter wide slab of concrete. Genius!... Thanks to all who have been involved to this point. More updates over next few days if weather allows for work to be done.
