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.

Atalia Richardson from Swan Tafe started at the gallery today for work experience. This is going to be very helpful I hope for the two of us. It will mean that I can spend more time painting and she can gain some valuable experience.

As you can see a rough and ready catalogue has been posted and will remain at the top of the home page. I will be knocking it into shape over the coming days.

Works in progress

The exhibition has maintained a works in progress approach which has been a feature of this project. Many people have found this interesting and want to return to see the progress and finished work. I am seriously considering having a closing to facilitate this and have asked Alannah if she will “open” the closing should I go ahead with this idea, to which she has agreed to in principle.
As a bit of fun the visitor tally has been included as a work in progress.

Quite a mixture of people are coming through, some of the people today included: school kids; Derek (one of the participants of the project) who brought his wife in to see his portrait; some visitors from Bunbury who had come to visit Armadale for the day; a young man on his way to a job interview; a family with teenage children; some fellow artists; retirees; students and our member for Armadale, Alannah MacTiernan. It is fantastic to get such a diversity of viewers and see them enjoying the project. It was a particular honour to take Alannah through the gallery and discuss different aspects of the project and the importance of such cultural activities in Armadale.
