Bouddi reflections are encouraged

Residents of the Bouddi Peninsula are being encouraged to reflect on people and places in their area.

They are being asked to share their responses through art, photography, film, digital slide shows, poetry and prose, film and song as part of a multi-arts event entitled Bouddi Reflections.

This will culminate in an exhibition to be held at Wagstaffe Hall on the October long weekend.

There will be a champagne opening with New Inventors' host James O'Loughlin compere.

"There is widespread local interest and varied entries have arrived or been promised including the premiere of at least three short films," Bouddi Society vice president Mr David Dufty said.

Exhibitors will include local artists such as Jean Melvin and Marijke Greenway of Pearl Beach.

"Works by first exhibition photographers and artists are also arriving," Mr Dufty said.

All works are for sale with proceeds going to the Bouddi Wildlife Fund which supports wildlife caring in the area.

Entries close on September 23.

Exhibition hours are Saturday, October 1, 11 am to 3.30pm, Sunday, October 2, 9am to 5pm and Monday, October 3, 9am to 3pm.

Raffle and door prizes will include works by local artists and meals for two at local restaurants.

"The event should prove to be a very creative way of recognising and appreciating the local environmental and cultural heritage," Mr Dufty said.
