Some working proofs...

Last chance to send in images to be part of artwork

OK guys, this is your absolute last chance to send in any Pt Chevalier related imagery (drawings, painting, photos, craftworks, etc). Email good quality images to zoe@zoenash.co.nz by the end of the Saturday (5pm 25 June). 

Am now starting to put the digital panels together. Have lots of great material to use including architectural drawings from kids at Pt Chevalier School, landscape-inspired paintings by the Coyle Park Art Group, bird imagery from a lovely woman at Selwyn Village, photographs from tourists to the area, text works, historical imagery and, of course, my own stash of related works. Panels will feature the environment, relevant history, culture, local events and activities.

Will be using feedback questionnaires supplied by you, the community, to help design the panels, plus reading the great stories about Pt Chevalier from the Hub website and the Book of Memories at the library, amongst lots of other stuff.

The wall should be being cleaned and prepped within the next month or so. It's coming...

Last open-to-public session Saturday 18th, 9.30am

Pt Chevalier Community Art Project
Final open-to-public session: Saturday 18th June 9.30am at Pt Chevalier Community Centre. Last chance to bring along anything you'd like to contribute. Because we are working digitally we can use any images that have been somehow inspired by our wonderful local surroundings (could be drawings, photographs, paintings, craftworks…) Please bring them along if you'd like them to be photographed and to become part of the final digital panels. No experience necessary and works from all ages accepted (see sample shown featuring some of the work we've already collected). If you don't have anything to contribute, feel free to come along for a chat and find out what's about to go up on the wall next to Countdown supermarket. Zoë will be at the centre until 11am.

PS Market will be on. Great woolly hats for only five bucks!
