Art on the GreenWay

Wonderfully for the second year, Leichhardt Council has offered artists interested in Environmental Art a chance to win funds to create a temporary artwork for installation in the GreenWay.  

Art on the GreenWay is a featured event of LOST, Leichhardt Open Studio Trail 2016  - see No. 34 on the LOST map

Works will be on show from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 20 March 2016

GreenWay Arts Prize

Above is my rejected version of along Hawthorne Canal made for the 2012 Greenway Arts Prize Exhibition. The opening was on last night  with another full house at Art Est and tomorrow I will be there again to guide a free art workshop with a nod towards sustainability from 10am to 1pm. This is for our first GreenWay Hub Day...  

bright days to all for 2012

playful conclusions

My good friend Gail popped round to the gallery for some playtime.

A walk along the Hawthorne Canal end of the GreenWay is a good way for time out from city life for me. This Sunday there is an open day at Art Est Gallery and Art School 2-5pm found through the mozaic tunnel at Lords Rd.

In the Lords Road Tunnel (yes down from Art Est) a beautiful community artwork by a long list of community members and students is up for viewing. The original mural design is by April Keogh, the mosaic assemblage direction by Nola Diamantopoulos and the internal story wall by Joel Tarling. Here via U-Tube is a great film about it.

Signage and info installed reads...

It is a beautiful thing seeing men at work and an iron "whipple truss" bridge! Please go and read more at the tunnel.
