Open Studios is here!

This weekend has it all - the Boonah, Aratula and Tarome studios of the Scenic Rim are open for visits and out here, for everyone to come play at our place. Yesterday we were almost overwhelmed by the visitors - Anne flew in from Townsville (about 1400 kms north) and played for a  few hours, others came from the local area. Another visitor had flown home early from a trip to Darwin (3000 kms) to participate in the weekend. One thing is for sure, everyone had a great day viewing the SAQA exhibition "This is a Quilt" in what is now known as "The Garage Gallery" - then playing with monprinting and mark making in the adjacent studio. It was great to hear feedback about everyone's visit to Suzy Buhle's studios and most visitors had also been over to Christine Leah of Zengarra at Moogerah. The Open Studios program is part of the Scenic Rim Regional Council's support of the arts and cultural tourism in the region.  Many thanks to Sue, Mel, Chris and Jenny and the Lavazza Coffee machine - and the WMBM who took care of the culinary treats for hungry visitors.  A big thank you to everyone who came out to the Studio and played at Aliquilts.  Other artists featured this weekend include:  Mark Paddick, Felicity Smith, Catherine Anderson, Rachael Brook and Christopher Trotter.
