Artists By the River
The fourth season of Artists by the River exhibition will be
launched at the Atwell Arts Centre and
Gallery on Tuesday 3rd April 2012 - download your invitation.
The Artists by the River project involves 22 artists with
disability who created their artwork alongside and under the
tutelage of teaching artists and visiting guest artists at the
gallery.
"The exhibition continues to attract interest from the local
community every year", Commission Accommodation Services Executive
Director Wendy Cox said.
"The project had been warmly embraced by all who took part,
including the artists, their support workers, friends and family,
the tutor and the local community", added Bevan Dellar, Chair of
the Fairholme Disability Support Group, which helps facilitate the
project.
"What's beautiful about the environment is that everyone's an
artist. It doesn't matter if you have a disability or not, it's
about an inclusive community and that's what we're creating here,"
Mr Dellar said.
The Artists by the River project is a partnership between the
Disability Services Commission, the Melville Community Arts
Association, Fairholme Disability Support Group and four Rotary
clubs
