Reminder: Celebrating FOHacaRG’s 32nd Anniversary
‘Quilt – Art: a new concept’ Exhibition
12th – 13th June 2021

Reminding all that members of the community are warmly welcomed to attend Friends of the Hawkesbury Art Community & Regional Gallery Inc Exhibition ‘Quilt – Art:  a new concept’ on 12th-13th June for an opportunity to view the talents of an unrecognised local textile artisan whose work will hang together with other artist’s images inspired by the colour palettes of the textiles.

North Richmond resident Mrs. Pauline Berry has generously agreed to the public showing of some of her favourite creations. The wall hangings and quilts are motivated by her love of Japanese fabric, and the challenge to span the gulf between the concept of Oriental & Western beauty.

Members of FOHacaRG will provide complimentary art works which will be available for sale on a “Cash & Carry” basis.

Open from 9am—3pm Saturday & Sunday the 12th & 13th, the exhibition will be displayed in the Stan Stevens Studio, The Deerubbin Centre, 300 George Street Windsor.

The Anniversary celebration is tomorrow Saturday, 12th June 2021. Opening drinks will be served at 11am.
Drinks, snacks, cake at the Quilt Art Exhibition Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre Windsor.

For more info, visit their website www.fohacarg.com.au

For Enquiries phone Margaret Ginnings 4577 4440 or e-mail

Look forward to seeing you there!

Regarding our AGM:

This meeting will replace our usual Annual General Meeting that we would normally have at this time.

The world continues to see change in the way we work, our participation in the community and events.

NSW Fair Trading has, in recognition of the current circumstances, made provision for societies such as ours to choose to not hold an Annual General Meeting in 2020, and so we will defer until 2021.

This is provided the financial statement for 2020 is completed and is, along with the 2021 statement, presented at the 2021 AGM.

The MTAS committee has elected to postpone the 2020 AGM accordingly and, fortunately, our committee has kept their hands up for another year. If however during this time any committee member discontinues in their position, a call will go out for volunteers to assist until the AGM takes place.

Please join me in thanking the committee for their diligence and commitment to keep MTAS going through such difficult times.

The NSW Fair Trading information can be found at www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au

So at 7.30pm Viriginia will demonstrate a variety of mixed media techniques, including “having fun with yupo”. Learn how to revive and add excitement to those watercolours you filed away.

You can also add imagery to them by lifting off and collaging on vibrant paintings from yupo (brilliant white synthetic paper); lifting off newsprint and photographs, or adding prints – or do all three.

You can even incorporate “found objects” such as pressed flowers and leaves.

 

About Virginia Wheatley:

Virginia Wheatley works using different medium and styles. Her studio, Blue Toucan Art is located in Kurrajong village, where she enjoys the peaceful and amazing views of the Kurrajong foothills.

Her paintings can be found around Australia and abroad, and is a regular exhibitor at the Macquarie Towns Art Society.

More Info:

This demonstration will be limited to 25 people including the committee. The committee meeting will be held in the Tebbutt Room at 5.45pm and demonstration will be in the Stan Stevens Studio from 7.30pm.
