All that jazz
WITH only room for 100 people and the talents of jazz singer Emma Pask on show, tickets have sold fast for Mitchell Conservatorium’s first event of the year.
Called Wine, Dine and Jazz it’s on this Saturday, February 3 from 6pm. Bookings a must at www.mitchellconservatorium.com.
Raw emotion
IF you’ve not seen Oberon artist Harrie Fasher’s phenomenal sculptural works – perhaps at Sculpture By the Sea or the piece in the park at Oberon – you must see ‘The Last Charge’ when it opens at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery this Friday night.
This is a huge piece, direct from impressing the crowds at Bondi, and captures the raw emotion of the last charge of the Light Horse Brigade at the Battle of Beersheba on October 31, 1917.
Also opening is a collection spanning photography, video, installation and sound works by post-minimal and post-conceptual artist Derek Kreckler.
Hit the trail
IT’S a Bathurst Arts Trail weekend with studios open right across the local area Saturday and Sunday 10am-4pm. Details from bathurstartstrail.com.au.
Sew and sew
THE first activity for the year for Evans Arts Council members is the sewing bee from 10am to 1pm next Monday, February 5 at Kelso Hub, 24 Bonnor Street.
Participants will be making bags to sell at the craft show from donated material.
Congrats Will
AN enormous congratulations to Bathurst Arts Council/ 2BS Youth Arts Award annual scholarship winner Will Hazzard.
The Meadow Flat-based young visual artist has been picking up accolades all over the place in recent years and is an excellent choice.
Congratulations also to Will’s parents Ian and Kelly who’ve put so much into helping Will follow his artistic passions and huge applause to Christine Sweeney who has been running the Youth Arts Awards so brilliantly over the past few years.
Christine is stepping down this year but the awards will continue. Pick up a nomination form at 2BS.
