A year ago a tornado hit little Dunoon on the NSW North Coast....causing huge damage to local homes and all but flattening Dunoon Public School.
Around 15 professional artists who live in and around Dunoon have donated artworks for the event. Students have also been putting paint to canvas and these will be displayed alongside the collection of professional paintings, photography, sculpture, felting, drawings, garden sculptures and handmade jewellery that will be for sale. Prices range from $20 to $300, so there's something for everyone. Student artworks will be $10, with family and parents given first option to buy.
There will be sparkling apple juice, stuffed olives and camembert served (it is an art event after all!) plus a jumping castle, a mural painting workshop on the school toilet block and a monster sandpit raffle with prizes including an accommodation package, macadamia hampers, plant nursery vouchers, yoga and fitness classes, dinner vouchers, toys and even a poster autographed by Eric Bana. One in four tickets wins a prize, and the list is not yet complete!
Funds raised will help the school and assist Kids for Kids to continue improving the lives of children living in impoverished regions around the world.
The Spring Arts Fair will run from 4-6pm.
For more information phone Renee on 6689 5868 or Madeleine on 6689 5542.
If you are on the North Coast this Saturday, drop by and support a very worthy effort by Dunoon Public School and the local community.
