will be held over the weekend of 10th & 11th March, 2012 Note this weekend into your diary and come down to enjoy the displays, demonstrations, workshops, music and community spirit. I will post more information closer to the time. If you make hand-crafted items, are a musician, or offer healing or meditation and would like to join this not-for-profit group, or be part of this or future events, phone Nis on 0400815689 or Danica on 0422 986 129 At present the aim is for a larger community event once a year to encourage the community to become involved with arts & crafts and the community spirit itself and a few smaller (by invitation only) events at the Pulse Art Studio in Spearwood. The following pictures are from the last private event at the Pulse Art Studio in November 2011. There were hands-on demonstrations and workshops, musicians, community mural painting, meditation and healing offered over both days of the weekend. |

I was at the Reconnecting Arts & Community Event and wasn't able to get to the meeting to collect my bear, so he arrived in the post a few days later. This little "beanie bear" was a little thin when he arrived, so my first mission was to put him on a better diet and fatten him up a bit. Then I had to decide how to decorate him. As a beader (and as this was a Bead Guild Challenge) my first instinct was to bead him from head to toe, but then (in my over-imaginative mind), he would have been saved brom being butchered or milked for bile only to send him to the streets as a tortured Dancing Bear. This would not do! Then I thought if I had been a bear .... who had been locked in a cage or tied to a rope, what would I want to do if I was free..... ROMP IN THE WILD!!!! So that is what happened. My bear has been embroidered with a vine which has wrapped around him as he has rolled on the forrest floor and he has a bunch of blossoms on his bottom where he has sat in the meadow and wondered at the wildflowers and all the beauties of nature which he never envisaged during the terror and torment of his previous life. If you would like to help the Free the Bears Fund, all donations are used 100% towards the bears. |

Over the weekend of November 5th & 6th the Reconnecting Arts & Community Group held an Art Market and Open Day at the Pulse Art Studio in Spearwood. We had a shaky start with some last minute hiccups with the Health Department, but with the support of Councillors and the Mayor we continued, with some changes and made it a private event - by invitation only. Invites went out via word of mouth, email, facebook etc. Although the Saturday was quite wet, we had many brave souls come to try out the workshops and participate in the event. Sunday, although a little damp, was in general a much nicer day and again people came to participate in the demonstrations, workshops, to paint on the community mural, listen to the music, meditate, have a blessing or healing and just join in with the positive feel of this community minded event and meet the artists, musicians, facilitators and other members of their neighbourhood. The next event is planned for March, 2012. At this stage it will be held at the Waldorf School in Gwilliam Street, Bibra Lake. |
