Exhibition Opening
Sunday 30 October

Nudibranchs and other sea slugs are a diverse group of small, bizarre marine animals. Globally, they appeal to marine photographers and other artists due to the amazing variety of colour, form / shape, pattern, size and lifestyle. South Australian waters support an incredible array of beautiful sea slugs, ranging from widely distributed Indo-Pacific species, through to SA endemic slugs that have not been found anywhere else. As well as a vast array of spectacular local sea slugs, within the City of Onkaparinga area there are introduced nudibranch species from other countries, that were documented as part of a local citizen science project in 2020 and 2021.
This show combines some of the best examples of sea slug art in South Australia, by a group of dedicated nature artists and photographers, many of whom are also involved in citizen science in Gulf St Vincent, and other parts of SA. Curated by Janine Baker, with participating artists Camilo Esparza, Paul Macdonald, Elizabeth Solich, Tina Moore, Emma Monceaux, Dan Monceaux, Anita Futterer, Shaun Ruxton, Marianne Chi, Chloe Williams, Anne Davies, Heidi Newton, Mark Sutcliffe and Janine Baker.
The exhibition space will also include a children’s activity table for sea slug art, craft and science education. Part of the exhibition space will also include photos from entrants in the annual Neville Coleman Memorial Nudibranch Event community photo competition.

Noarlunga Theatre Company presents
AFTER DINNER
After Dinner, set in 1987, was Andrew Bovell's first play, and is his only comedy. After Dinner is a poignant and hilarious collision of lonely hearts, sex, friendship and Friday night drinks.
A suburban pub, circa 1987. Paula, Monika and Dympie are going to paint the town red... or maybe just a deep shade of embarrassment. Semi-eligible blokes Gordon and Stephen are shaking off the office and revealing their own peccadillos while they’re at it.
Dates
Friday 4 November, 8pm
Saturday 5 November, 2pm and 8pm

ALAN COOK
Artist in Residence October-December
Riverside Studio
RE-SOUNDING NGANGKIPARRI: REVERBERATIONS OF COMPLEX BIOGRAPHIES
The Re-Sounding Ngangkiparri project lies somewhere between producing a documentary and creating fiction by using acoustic ecology and electronic music to allow the local landscape to narrate itself. Recording the chaos of human activity interwoven with natural sounds at sites along the river, Cook aims to capture daily life in its reality and the acoustic suffocation of the Onkaparinga Estuary.
Alan is seeking stories.
Alan is seeking stories which share the wider communities experience of interacting with the River. Be it swimming, fishing, floods, bridges, old houses, the dump, anything. Any contribution can be truly helpful and will be combined into the final exhibition.
These stories will be recorded to be embedded in a large electroacoustic work documenting the Acoustic Ecology of the area. Contact Sauerbier House on 8186 1393 or drop by to arrange a time with Alan to tell your tale.

NATURALISTIC SEEING
Drawing Workshop with Kathleen Munn
How you look at nature and compare it to your work will be the focus of this workshop. The basis of the approach presented in this workshop is not an 'ism'. Though it is a way of seeing that some 'isms' flowed out of.
The Realists, Naturalists and the Impressionists all tried to represent nature as they saw it. They just did so with different eyes, figuratively speaking. Seeing in the right way will create good habits and drawing will become easier and more enjoyable.
Strong drawing skills allow deviation from what you actually see and then can become an artistic choice rather than an accident or whim.
We will begin the workshop by exploring the basics of drawing which will include.
-Visual measuring and size relationships
-Positional relationships
-Values in light and shade
Saturday 26 November
1.30-3.30pm
Workshop cost $20 per participant.
Book online here.
Suitable for adults at all levels of experience.
As materials are not provided, please bring your own;
-pencils HB, 2B, 4B
-eraser
-sketch book with cartridge paper, A2 or larger
