MOSAIC WORKSHOP

Our mosaic workshop, held the last weekend of October, was a hugh sucess with 17 participants completing small sample panels. We were amazed and inspired by how the participants told of their experience of the flood and how quickly the energy from this was translated into artwork.  ACT  engaged an experienced public mosaic artist and tutor, Bev Ridsdill-Kenny, who has studied mosaic in Italy, Australia and the UK. She uses diverse media including metal, stone, granite, slate, marble, glass and ceramic and has significant public artworks in Brisbane and the Moreton Bay Region. Bev ran the workshop to increase our community’s capacity to produce permanent, high quality mosaic artworks that require minimum maintenance and will be able to be relocated if development changes the building.

Artists Postcard Series

OFFICIAL LAUNCH SEPTEMBER 16TH AT 6:30PM
Kath Dickson Community Art Centre

In 2011 ACT decided to change the approach to the Postcard Project and give member Artists the opportunity to have postcards made of their artwork. It was a project of joint benefit, as the artists receive postcards at a reduced price and Arts Council Toowoomba has retained some cards to use as fund raising. These funds are used to promote our Artists and activities in the region.
