Alphington Arts, our new night time arts group will kick off on Thursday 18 July at 7.30pm. The idea behind this group is that we keep costs down by different people sharing their creative knowledge and skills. We’ll have 4 sessions over the coming semester (2 per term).

And first up we’ll be exploring basket weaving with Kayti Murphy. You may have seen Kayti’s baskets at our makers markets - or bought her teatowels and/or pickled radishes.

Thanks so much Kayti for volunteering to share your knowledge and skills.

So … if you are keen to join in you can join up for the semester here.

And then come along for some low key creative evenings. BYO drinks and/or snacks to share if you are so inclined.

Last year our movie club met in the day. This semester we are going to try early evenings.

Our first date will be on Tuesday 16 July. We will meet at Westgarth Cinema (to take advantage of cheap Tuesday tickets) and then go somewhere local to chat about it afterwards - maybe Kelvins?

If you are interested let us know here and we will add you to the WhatsApp group.

We generally find out the exact details of the movie times and what is showing the previous week - so it is a little bit rushed … Note that you are welcome to put your two bobs in if you have a preference for something you want to see.

We hope you can come along!

The Clean Bin Project Film is screening here at ACC on Wednesday 26 June.

Find our more and book tickets at humantix here. There’ll be food and drink - it should be a fun night!

Thanks Village Greening for organising this event.

Village Greening, a volunteer group dedicated to enhancing sustainability in Fairfield Village, is launching a Plastic-Free July campaign and we would love for you to help. 

Join Alphington Arts … it’s sort of like a book club, with meetings twice a term … but instead of reading books (and talking) we’ll get together and make art (and chat) …

Starting in second semester the cost is $40 to join, and we’ll run 4 sessions on Thursday evenings from 7.30pm. Dates to be confirmed - but we’re aiming for the first and last week of each term.

At these sessions we will ask someone in the group to share an easy skill as a taster for everyone to have a go - like block printing, still life, basket weaving etc. - obviously the skills shared will depend on the people who come along - but don’t be put off thinking you have to offer something straight away, we have this years sessions lined up so you wont be under pressure!

If you are interested in joining in email us here. We will add you to the Whats App group for ongoing communication.

Note there may be some additional material costs associated with particular activities - depending on what we are doing. But we’ll try to keep these minimal.

And … please do let us know if you have a skill you could share yourself. It could be anything … painting, drawing, floristry, felting, weaving, card making, printing, paper folding …. we’re very keen to build a community of artists and create casual and friendly opportunities for creative peer learning and sharing into the future.
