It was only February 2010 –just over a year ago –that we launched 100k North @ Marmalades,our community art gallery within one of Yea’s most beloved cafés. Ingrid and Lindsay have been wonderful hosts,letting us have the run of the place, convene Artists Conversation evenings,and even take over the main rooms in their entirety in October for the dove/tales exhibition. April 4th –less than a month away –will see the Knights hand the keys over to the Webbs,David and Stephanie. As they strive to make the café their own,we’ll be working alongside them,finding our feet under new circumstances. It’s both an opportunity and a challenge. Stay tuned,I’ll tell you how it goes.
The diligent among you may be asking what we’ve been up to. For myself,the last few months of 2010 were a whirlwind of Arts activities –we ran three separate exhibitions,continued to curate the café,organised a Vocal Nosh out at the Cheviot Tunnel,and …well,had lives. On top of everything else I had some personal health issues,and sometimes one must heed the message to slow down. But things are heating up once again. We’ll complete the transition to the new Marmalades ownership,then re-engage with our members and work out a program for the rest of the year.
If you’ve got a burning idea that you absolutely must unburden yourself of,pop on over to our Contact page and drop us a line. We would be only too happy to engage with you.
