GREAT INDOORS
Art Exhibitions and sales
Many of Pittwater’s talented
artists have exhibitions and
sales in January – see our Art
section on pages 38-41 for
more details. It’s worth the trip
south to explore our nearest
regional art gallery – Manly
Art Gallery & Museum at West
Esplanade which is currently
featuring some delightful
pieces by Ken Done, Ethel
Carrick Fox and Adrian Feints
that capture our beaches
and habour. The exhibition
is part of ‘Destination Sydney
Re-imagined’ which sees the
wonderful Manly gallery team
up with galleries in Mosman
and The Rocks to showcase
artists who have been working
in in our city.
Make the most
the library
There’s something for
everyone at Mona Vale and
Avalon libraries – and not just
books. Activities for kids and
young people from 6-18 years
include the Summer Reading
Club, Coding Workshops,
Reptile Shows, Stained Glass
Craft, Life Drawing and
Polymer Clay Workshops.
There are a few author talks
too suitable for ‘older’ readers.
Bookings essential at the
library desk or via websites.
Summer reading
Opposite Mona Vale Library
you can buy books from
Berkelouw or pop into Avalon’s
new-look Bookoccino in Avalon.
For readers of teen fiction
and great recommendations
for all ages, you can’t go past
Beachside Bookshop on the
corner of Barrenjoey Road
and Avalon Pde, Avalon Beach
(recommended reading p34).
