Zaadstra art gallery at Gravelly Beach

Hi there

We had a great day on Sunday. 
Thankfully Saturday’s deluge eventually ceased! 
A beautiful day with drinks in the sunshine and lots of great conversation. 
Thanks to all those who were able to come along and sorry we did not get to speak with everyone.

Please find attached video article from The Examiner newspaper (just click the link below). 
They popped in during the morning just beforehand.

Thanks again for your interest in the gallery and we hope to catch up with everyone soon.

Kind regards,
Tanya & Pieter

Exhibition Invitation

Mapping the Island

This is the media Release for Mapping the Island

West Tamar Arts Group in partnership with

Tasmania Regional Arts and Moores Hill Estate Winery present:

Tasmania 1:100,000 Mapping the Island

Dates: 9^th October to 30^th October

Hrs: 10.00 am – 5.00pm Daily

At: Moores Hill Estate Winery

3343 West Tamar Highway

Sidmouth.

Following rave reviews and enthusiastic public attendance during 10 Days on the Island in 2009, it is now touring Tasmanian communities through Tasmania Regional Arts Touring and Access program.

Curators Penny Carey-Wells and Diane Perndt selected national and international artists, including poets, chefs, wine makers, dancers, musicians, papermakers, printmakers and mixed media visual artists, who received a section taken from a topographical map of Tasmania. They were asked to create a two-dimensional paper based response measuring 29 x 29 cm square. Over 140 extraordinary works were received - each piece telling its own story from the deeply personal, to the wonderfully witty and the aesthetically masterful.

From the original exhibition the curators have selected nearly of half the works for further touring. Most of these are now housed in individual perspex display boxes suitable for a multitude of venues. The tour begins in Burnie Regional Art Gallery opening on 28 January 2011 after which it will travel to other Tasmania regional centres. 

Look closely - enjoy the humour, find the bizarre, search for the wayward and discover the wonderful in this fascinating exploration and interpretation of our island.
