Sue Linton works in Pastel and Oils and specialises in Portraits of people, pets & animals.The works she will be exhibiting will Laguna P&C Art Exhibition - Thank you Laguna P&C would like to thank all the hardworking parents, staff, community members and students for your help in putting on the 18th annual Art Exhibition. In tough financial times it was lovely to see the community out in force to support the school and this annual event. All facets of the show were successful starting with the commemorative glass on entry right through to taking home that special piece of art on the Sunday afternoon. This year we sold over $27,000 worth of art and with opening night, dinners and raffle tickets we raised over $13,500 for the school. The money will be used to install much needed air-conditioning in the new Art Room as well as landscaping around the new class room. Our school only receives about a very small amount per child of funding per year to pay for everything: pens, text books, rates, phone electricity bills for the school. So the money that we raise makes it easier to give our children better facilities. I think that I will ask Principal Chris Davey to do a house hold budget for me. Not too many people would be aware of the work in the lead up week required to get the show on the road. The Sunday before is a working bee to clean, restore and paint all the flats as well as putting up all the black material and moving everything from the shed to the hall, requiring a large team of people to help, even those with other commitments managed to still turn up and do their part. Then there is the receiving of the art on the Monday & Tuesday, while the lights are being set up, no small feat! The entries need to be then formulated into a catalogue and believe me this Community news for Wollombi and surrounding districts Issue 315 - Our Own News - October 2009 be mainly local Oil landscapes and some animals. Sue has won many awards in Newcastle & Lower Hunter Art shows and has been a Winner & Finalist in the Hunter Business Excellence Awards 2006 and 2007 respectively. Shane Lennard specialises in Fine Art Photography particularly unique Wine Country & Hunter Valley Images. Award winning framed & unframed photos will be available, as well as a new & exciting range of local postcards. Subjects are as diverse as landscapes, vineyards, frogs, birds, insects, lizards, flowers, rustic old sheds & tractors. This delightful exhibition runs until Sunday 1 November, 10am to 4pm, WCC Bookings - please phone FiFi (49983339) or Bronnie (49988347) Email wvac@wollombi.org Visit www.wollombi.org Next WVAC Meeting 2pm Sunday 11h October 2009 at WCC Bronnie Aliotti requires some very long hours to get it right, sometimes taking days, the computer can turn into your enemy at 2.00am after 8hrs of trying to get the spreadsheet to look right, but I digress. Wednesday and Thursday consists of our wonderful Hanging Team who display all the art so brilliantly, thank you, Annie Heathcote John Pateman, and Julie Brown. Then there is Friday, a mad dash to the finish line, this year without the help of John Forsyth most of you would have needed torches to see the lovely dinners cooked by our hardworking kitchen team or to choose which delicious Wollombi Valley Wine Trail Wines would go perfectly with your meal all generously donated by our local wineries. Saturday and Sunday the hall has to be manned and the Arty Farty Café run, we have fathers doing security from Wednesday night to Saturday. I think they like to do it to get a night off maybe that’s why my husband offered himself twice! Sunday it is all over for the show but the treasurer still has to reconcile and send out all the artist payments which once again is a very time consuming job as well as again a large team of helpers come in and take it all down and put it away ready for next year. Many of my friends in Sydney are continually blown away by how well the Art Exhibition is supported and the funds that we raise, which is why in the long run living in the Laguna community is a wonderful choice to have made. Thank you to the parents, staff, students, artists, and community members for another successful year you all deserve a pat on the back. Debra Boxall Organiser 2009. 5
