Color me pretty

I am so happy today! I went to the Marrickville library this arvo to see whether they're willing to put a drop off box for the Color-Me-Pretty Competition and I was so lucky to meet Sue, the lady in charge of the library, and she's so supportive about our Creative Lane! Sue heard about Creative Lane from a knitting group at the library and she is more than happy to help us to put the poster up at the library, giving people the coloring competition and leaving the drop off box at the front door.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!

She said there's a meeting room at the library and if we want to organize any workshop, we can use it for free!!! Oh My God!!! How lucky are we!! Very soon Creative Lane will organize with the Marrickville Library to offer some free workshop during school holiday as well! I can't wait to see Creative Lane getting one step forward and doing something different again!!!

The coloring competition will be soon distribute to local schools and libraries, if you're inner west resident and willing to help out, please drop me a line at suki@miao.com.au. As you know this event is aiming to helping local artists and getting people more involved with the art and craft, your help does make a difference to many people's lives. I am here to say THAN YOU to all your help and support and looking forward to see you soon.

Thank you.

Just want to say thank you again for all your support last Sunday. It's really rewarding to see all the artists and the local community supporting each other. I am really glad that what I am doing can and will make a difference in the community. As you may notice the next Creative Lane will be on the 11th Sep and again I will try my very best to make it as good as I can. Please spread the words. Sydney artists need your support.

Creative Lane 11Sep 2011

The 3rd Creative Lane will be on the 11 September 2011 from 10am to 3pm at Marrickville Townhall. This time the event will be a bit different than before. As I want the community to be more engaged with the idea of art and craft, there will be a little competition call "Color Me Pretty". It's basically a coloring competition for adults and kids (2 different groups), all the entries will be exhibit at the Marrickville Townhall front entrance on the event day. The winner will get their master piece printed on a t-shirt and a showbag as well! More details will be available next week. If you have any new ideas please feel free to drop me a line!

Creative Lane - two weeks to go....

I am getting very excited/ nervous/ busy/ tired because Creative Lane is having its first Art and Craft festival in 2 weeks! I cannot believe it's coming so soon! If you're in Sydney on the 18th June, you HAVE TO come to Creative Lane at Marrickville Townhall! It's not only a market for artists to showcase their works, but most of the artists are organizing their own workshops to demonstrate their works to kids and adults! There're projects for you to make your own art works and transform it into your very own products! It's a free event and it's indoor! What's better to do in this rainy winter time? Come to Creative Lane and have fun!
