NEWS FLASH! Art Bites – Coming soon

Art Bites program is almost here!

With only a few weeks to go, Access Arts has an exciting opportunity to deliver the Art Bites program in partnership with Brisbane City Council during February/March 2012.

The Art Bites program will be running in various locations throughout Brisbane which will offer free workshops that will give people a taste of various art forms.

Our Arts Bites program will include drama, drumming, dance, painting, printing, music, business, origami, brooch making, digital storytelling, zine making, and photography workshops and all sessions are FREE!

We see this as an opportunity for you to try a variety of workshops within your local community while ensuring access requirements are provided for.

Access Arts is pleased that many current workshop facilitators submitted proposals for the workshops and we look forward to working with local artists who we haven’t collaborated with before.  All facilitators will participate in Access Arts’ Disability Awareness Training program prior to workshops commencing. As with our current program, a support worker will be employed to ensure maximum participation. You are welcome to bring your own support worker too.

This will be the perfect chance for you to participate in a community arts program. Bring your family and friends too!

JUST REMEMBER to enrol with Access Arts before commencement. Spaces are limited and will fill up quickly!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Transport assistance may also be available, please let us know if this is required when you enrol.

All Art Bites workshops can be found on the Brisbane City Council website under “Art Bites”

Art work from the new Northside Visual Arts Workshop

The Northside Beginners Visual Arts workshop at the Regional Community Association, Redcliffe has been producing some beautiful art work – please enjoy!

 

A very bright print of blue, green, yellow and red with various shapes and silhouettes – flowers, lizards, love heart, people holding hands in a semi circle.  This member has gone further and sewn buttons in the middle of the flowers, put a material edge around the print and sewn in contrasting colours around some of the shapes.

Community Showcase 2011

This year’s Community Showcase was a wonderful event! Centered around the theme ‘Seasons’, each workshop group expressed ‘seasons’ through various mediums: painting, photography, ceramics, movement, sound, music, action and voice. Thank you to everyone who performed, attended and helped at the event, and assisted in its preparation! Here are a few photos from the day:
