We’ve had an abundance of lemon 🍋 donations (thanks everyone) - and Clare is keen to share how to make your own cleaner with them. It’ll make your house smell delightful! And … is very effective.

So, we are going to run a pop-up workshop on Thursday 12 September from 11am for an hour. The cost is $10. You can book in using the link below.

BYO passata size jar (or 2 or 3 or 4) - you might have some you could share? Clare will take you through the steps. We’ll make you a fancy coffee!

It’ll be lovely.

Register here if you are keen to come along.

Well it has all been art, art, art this weekend, with our Winter Arts Exhibition running Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.

With 40+ artists work on display, and over 120 works in the show there was a super range of art to enjoy.

We had lots of people come along to enjoy the art accompanied by drinks and nibbles in our lovely new spaces on Friday evening … and works sold - which made the artists happy, I am sure! Then a steady stream of visitors over the weekend. It is great to be able to partner with local artists and support their practice. It is also a thrill for us to be able to provide unique opportunities for our community. There were lots of people who came along who we don’t normally see at ACC - and that is fabulous!

Thanks to all the artists who participated in the show and to everyone who came along.

We are looking forward to touching base with everyone this week as they collect their works and congratulating those who bought a piece as they also drop by to collect them. A reminder that our office is open 9am-3.30pm Monday to Friday.

And … time doesn’t stop! This week we have our:

• Preserves Group on Tuesday afternoon from 1-3pm. It will be super to top up our preserves that we have for sale after a busy weekend of sales at the Winter Arts Exhibition.

• Movie Club on Tuesday evening - we’ll be Iris and the Men at 6pm at Westgarth Cinema if you are interested in coming along please let us know.

• Life Journaling workshop series starting this coming weekend, from 10am-12pm. It runs for 4 weeks with journalist Carmela Ferraro here to help you write your autobiography! How fun! It should be really super. Book in ASAP if you are interested here. We will need minimum numbers for it to go ahead.

Looking forward to seeing you at ACC soon.

Our AAA Art group put some work in the Winter Arts Exhibition this year. And we took some photos of them in front of the 5 pieces once they were hung. Check them out …

Well done everyone involved.

It is hard to choose a movie for lots of people isn’t it?

This month for Movie Club we are going to see Iris and the Men. Quite light hearted. Starts at 6pm at Westgarth Cinema. We’ll head over to Kelvin Bar afterwards for a drink and a chat.

Here is the trailer if you are interested in coming along. Do let us know so we can look out for you. Email or call!

8 people at Crunch last week. It was super! We ate a Penang chicken curry with rice for lunch, had a coffee and a chocolate chip bikkie, and headed out to the Community Shed for some sketching using ink and sticks for mark making.

It was fabulous to see all the different works that were produced, and to see everyone chatting as we ate and then absorbed in creativity when we were in the shed.

If you are keen to join in you can book in online.

All the fresh vegies chopped up ready for the curry!
