Helen came to the gallery recently to help out.  She is designing the web site for Arts Vision Armadale (AVA), the organisation who is hosting this project.  Lucy decided to keep an eye on her.

One of the walls in the post office is being used to make a storyboard of the project, referring to each location that has been painted and and some of the people I met while there.

Story board of the project

Today was the first official open studio which was very successful.  A guided tour was given around the back rooms of the Old Post Office, (which many people found interesting in itself).  The feedback from the tour indicated that they were surprised and delighted by the complexities of the project and how well all the different aspects integrated.  They particularly enjoyed seeing behind the scenes into the art-making process.  As the project is about Armadale, many people were able to relate and respond to the project with their own stories and experiences.
