Peninsula Art Walk on again

The Multi Arts Confederation is calling on expressions of interest from Peninsula shop owners and artists to participate in next year's Peninsula Art Walk.

Project coordinator Ms Margaret Hardy said the Multi Arts Confederation and Friends of Caroline Bay group were looking forward to another art walk after this year's success.

"The last art walk, held from January to February this year, picked up a good response amongst the community," Ms Hardy said.

"The walk was set up to promote art on the Peninsula, which has not had much support for the arts until after the first walk.

"Leila Desborough designed the logo last year and has given permission for it to be used again.

"We supply the shops with the logo for their windows and list of participating shops.

"People can pick up a copy and follow the logo signs in the windows.

"The walk also helps to promote the business involved in the event.

"Some paintings were sold last year and since The Rainbow Gate has opened, shops have continued to show art works and the Peninsula Village Art Show extended their exhibition to other venues.

"Leila Desborough, Judy Hoste, Gai McMurtrie, Christine Armstrong, Gregory Coates, Robyn Mullen, Karen Williams and Barbara Duggan were a few of the Peninsula artists who participated this year."

Next year's Peninsula Art Walk will be held from January 12 to February 13.
