Hi Folks,
Date of next event: Local Arts Strategy Workshop 1pm Wednesday July 1st 2015 ~ Whangamata Club in the newly refurbished upstairs room
I’m hoping the Info Plus and Coastal News will be able to help us with publicising the workshop event. Give me a day or two and we will have some flyers to hand out & display, pop into the gallery to get yours. Please do spread the word, invite and encourage other interested parties to come and give us some input. Especially Theatre group, musicians, writers and anybody else you can think of . . .. Lets see if we can make Arts Festivals happen here and grow the arts scene in our neighbourhood. Cheers C followup: Community Arts project - ideas Trawling around on Pinterest I have found and put together a pile of ideas we could try:- https://www.pinterest.com/christinascurr/community-arts-project Take a look at these . . . inspirational and so easy. See you all on the 1st I hope ! Cheers
