“connecting our community”
Last term our community arts project was called ‘The Key …’ and we invited people passing on the street to write their thoughts on a key tag in relation to 3 questions.
As each round finished we put all the keys 🔑 in a jar on our bench … and now we are enjoying having lots of good vibes and thoughtful ideas infiltrating our subconscious as we pass by the jars each day.
Take a look next time you are here. Thanks to everyone who joined in!
After a much appreciated mid year break we are back on deck Monday. It looks to be a chilly week ahead - but we hope to see you here despite the forecast.
Our Friday community program will resume this week … and our key short courses etc. will begin in two weeks.
And … yes, we know … we have some things to get organised ASAP!
Highest on our list is Movie Club … our first date is this Tuesday! We’ll add everyone who has expressed interest to the What’s App group first thing Monday and send out the details for the movie etc.
We’ve also got our first Alphington Arts meeting on Thursday night at 7.30pm. And … we need to get this What’s App group going too! This session we’ll be learning the basics of basket making, led by Kayti Murphy. It should be fun!
It’s not too late to join in! Let us know if you haven’t signed up but are keen to join in too! The more the merrier for both the movies and getting arty.
