"Immersion" Exhibition
Ellen Schlobohm and Sue Garrard
|
|
|
'Immersion' presents a reflection by artists Sue Garrard and Ellen Schlobohm of their time spent together at ComPeung, Thailand, as part of an art residency.
This exhibition considers their experience making art in a dramatically different physical and cultural landscape. Drawing on the intricate patterns and vivid colours of the region, Sue and Ellen present a vibrant body of work for viewers to become immersed in
The opening Opening Event on Thurs 30th September was a fantastic night. If you missed it - don't worry you still have time to see the show which runs to the 19th November
Exhibition is open 10am - 2pm Weekdays
Or you can meet the artists and see the show on Saturday the 16th, 23rd and 30th October

Stone & Quoin Studio's Famous
Steamroller Event
is on Sunday 14 November 2021
Join in the fun as we ink and print giant lino blocks with a road roller in the carpark at 6 Manton
This years theme "Bottom of the Garden" has lead to some truly gorgeous blocks being made already. If you want to get involved by carving a block, or helping out on the day of the event, please email simone@unionstprintmakers.com ASAP for further details.
You are invited to enjoy the spectacle by reserving your place in one of the four viewing sessions on Sunday 14 November: 11am-12noon, 12noon-1pm, 1pm-2pm or 2-3pm. Places are limited, so grab your spot soon.
Tickets cost $9 per person (+ Eventbrite booking fee).
Primary aged kids (and younger) are free, but must be accompanied by their adult at all times.
Whilst the steamroller printing occurs in the 6 Manton carpark, the 6 Manton Gallery will host live-printmaking by Stone & Quoin Studio on one of their studio presses, alongside an exhibition of beautiful artworks in the "Immersion" Exhibition by Sue Garrard and Ellen Schlobohm. You'll be able to purchase art from the exhibition, as well as original prints and cards by Stone & Quoin artists Sally Heinrich, Georgie Willoughby, Victoria Paterson and Damien Warman. Stone & Quoin Studio and Union St Printmakers will be selling steamroller tea towels, tote bags and steamroller banners throughout.

Huge Thanks to all of the artists who found fascinating new ways to depict ponies four our 4th "Pony" show!
And thanks to everyone who attended the opening, bought works and made the best of seated drinking, as well as those who visited during the exhibition season! Your interest and enthusiasm as an audience every SALA makes all the artists hard work worth it

"Salon de Refuse" (Our other SALA event)
was also a great success!
|
|
|
The exhibition took place in the carpark of 6 Manton on our art wall.
People where encouraged to take an artpiece and give it a good home, to contribute a piece they no longer wanted, or just to come along and have a look and be part of the fun - all for free.
We think the shortest record for how long an artwork hung on the wall was about 2 minutes before it found a new home!

Isabelle (above) took a canvas and left one - her mum Natalie sent us these photos of the original canvas & it's rebirthed creation! She told us...
"My daughter, Isabelle is already back in her room working on her next creation with the ones she pieces collected today. Makes me so happy seeing how much she is loving her art journey!
Makes us happy too!! Exactly what Salon de Refuse was all about - getting involved in art!
Huge Thanks to James Cottam from Street Bounty fame who pitched the idea and helped us with socials from lockdown in Sydney!
