Connecting with Creatives these School Holidays!

Artistic Connection Opportunities These School Holidays

School holidays are a wonderful opportunity to slow down, relax and indulge our creative selves – and these winter holidays are no exception at Yarra Plenty Regional Library. In fact, our community is in for a real treat: at various branches across our library service, artists will be in residence for workshops in different art practices. However, if you miss out on a booking (and they are very popular), don’t feel you will be missing out altogether – our artists are hanging out all day. Come and ask questions, talk about their art, and see them in action.

For example:

• Brett Cardwell will be at Whittlesea Library on Thursday 4 July from 11am onwards.
  He will be creating a mural!

• Gurvinder Kaur will be at Mernda Library on Saturday 6 July from 10am—4pm.

• Marc McBride will be at Mill Park Library on Thursday 11 July from 10am—3pm.

• Judith Rossell will be at Mernda Library on Saturday 13 July from 10am—4pm. 

• Jodi Wiley will be at Lalor Library on Tuesday 9 July from 10am—3pm. 

• Emmy Webbers will be at Ivanhoe on Sunday 14 July from 10am—3pm. 

Want to go out ‘on the road’?

Join Annie Valentine at the Mobile Library on Wednesday 3 July and learn how to work with polymer clay. These pop-up workshops will be stopping by: St Andrews, Kangaroo Ground and Diamond Creek. Registrations are not necessary! So come along and be inspired! 

Looking for books to read as well?

But we know that life happens (it is cold and flu time of year, after all) and sometimes we cannot leave home.
