ARTS CULTURE PEEL
Inside Bits - ARTS CULTURE PEEL & WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY
WHEN: 17th June 2010
WHERE: Edenvale Complex Pinjarra
Arts Culture Peel membership is open to all aspects of the arts - musicians, dancers, artists, crafts, poets, potters, performers, woodworkers .. think creative - think Arts Culture Peel.
With this wide ranging base to draw from, membership should be overflowing!
Unfortunately this is not so. Instead we find ourselves with a small membership base and in a quite vulnerable position.
WE SEEK YOUR VALUABLE AND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM TO UNDERSTAND WHY IS THIS SO
For 2010/11 ACP needs to become a more powerful voice for all creative arts within the Peel Region. To achieve this we need to increase our membership base to be taken seriously by our government bodies (on a local and state level), maybe change our focus to meet membership needs.
Arts Culture Peel needs a permanent home - a home where members can meet, share thoughts and futuristic ideas; a permanent home where local artists can feel comfortable displaying and selling their work; a home to hold workshops, functions and more.
We have ideas, we need to share them with you. We need to gather thoughts and ideas from you.
Please come along to our next General Members meeting ..Thursday, 17th June at Edenvale Complex Pinjarra
Meet our brand new brochure!!

ACP JUNIOR CREATIVE ART & POTTERY PLACE AT THE STRETCH FESTIVAL
WHAT A FABULOUS SUCCESS!
Thanks to Kathy Finlay, Les Hodgson and 3 dedicated helpers from ACP, the "hands on" activity was quite simply, humming with activity for both days of the Festival.
Well over 200 children (and quite a few adults) enjoyed getting hands downright dirty making pots and figures.
Les cut a colourful figure (dressed to kill I might add) on the pottery wheel, keeping the public well entertained.
2 new Junior Art members + 3 new members for Pottery Place. - fantastic!
The colourful ACP banners (thanks to Stan & Rosalie Richards for setting up) made for an attractive back drop for both the pottery and ACP.
Our grateful thanks to
Kathy & Les
for a project well done!
With ACP deciding to be part of the Festival very late into the planning, We only had time to organise promotional materials. This was also a great success with over 200 of our new brochures being handed out, along with lots of advertising flyers on our projects.
We have already welcomed one new member.
Next Year will be a different story - ACP will be well and truly organized with some "hands on" activities, mainly targeting our youth ..
JUNIOR ART is generally going very well.
ACP is quite passionate about extending the Junior Art program to include other art forms.
Can you help us with providing tutoring skills. Please contact ACP.

News from Board Member Deborah Hay
"Inspire Me"
CALLING ALL ARTISTS IN THE PEEL REGION TO
------- INSPIRE ME ! -------
Formerly known as "Paint Out" or "Art Out" , this novel concept for our area is for ALL artists -
this means
- Writers, Musicians, Painters, Poets and Printers,
- Knitters and Knotters,
- Sketchers,Singers and Potters
- and anyone else you can think of..
The idea is for a group of us to descend on a venue of special interest, taking our tools and our talents, and for a few hours letting the place and its surroundings or features
-------- INSPIRE ME ! ------
For instance : a visit to a winery could result in -
- a beautiful watercolour of a row of vines
- a poem about the rain and sunshine being transformed into liquid velvet
- a series of leaves knitted in several shades of green and autumn brown
- an interesting print of a line of bottles
- a wine carafe made from finest clay and decorated with grapes and leaves
- a story about a pioneering farmer, the first to plant vines in the district - his life and loves
- and a small group of minstrels singing songs like "Li'l ol' wine drinkin' me" to entertain us.
The possibilities are as varied as your imagination!!
Several venues contacted by phone have expressed interest, but would like our proposal in writing, giving approximate numbers, requirements for refreshments, possible entry fee, likely dates etc.
We foresee these outings being mostly during daylight hours - a night time one would be a very special experience - and would be any day that suited the majority. Most of the venues would be in the Peel region, so transport could be arranged for those who need it.
"WHAT CAN I DO?" you ask.
Tell us if you would like to be involved, what your art-form is, and what days you would prefer.
You can write to the ACP office, email us or ring Deb Hay on 9535 1442 or 0417 947 613.
