The Three Amigesses

Hahaha Peter and Marcia are so going to sign me up for Spanish lessons.

Meet Belinda (desk bitch extrordinaire), Sally (Life of the party and I have given up smoking have you got a cigarette and partner of Robert Jenkins...Damn that guy has so much talent he should be shot) and the lovely Zoe. (Ok she is my daught and therefore the absolute best of them all..and I am not biased...Honest).

No really they all bring so much individually to us and AinA. We totally love them all.

Honest!!

Damn I am gonna be in so much trouble after they see this.

So who Remembers 2

And now it looks like this! Yes I knew you had already forgotten what we have achieved as a team! But that is what makes us all special! Right?

So who is ready for the next site?? Only joking...Fran and I are having a bit of a break after this one..So we can fix up our own place!

Anyone got a spare can of black paint?

So Who Remembers 1

Memory is a funny thing. Already I cannot actually seem to remember what the site looked like before we started on it. And it was only 3 weeks ago and we have been open for a week and a half. Yes we really did make the difference!

Just to jog your memories it looked like this!

Maris Raudzins

I dunno what to say about Maris. Zoe and Fran were at the site in the set up stages on their own. Maris arrived in his bongo van and Zoe thought that he was some random feral that was about to load up the exhibition and kidnap them both....Well she does have a very active imagination.

In reality though as a sculptor, and as a very intelligent and dedicated human being, he is an inspiration to myself and many others. We are honoured to have him with us. And the fact that he has ladders, and drills and things and knows how to use them is a total bonus.

Yasmin Yussof

The best thing about Yas...well there are actually a couple.

The first is that she can paint like a demon. Not "Art" painting but "cover a wall with paint" type painting. Again another artist that nothing is too much trouble and her snse of humour and her laugh just lift the whole thing. Oh and she is a kick arse artist too. Her attention to detail and fine work is exemplary. (Dunno if I spelt that right)

One of these days I am going to find her a baby grand to do her work on! Liberace would have killed for her to do it.

And the Rain Came as Well

Yep it rained, it rained, and then it decided to rain some more.I think we just moved to Melbourne.But wait.... they are declared as a drought.

Oh well at least we got to meet some great people today and it looks like Fran has found another person to give her some help on the admin side. Woop.

Edgar Hoppe

Edgar is selling like hot cakes. And he always has a big grin and something nice to say.

The way it looks at the moment he is going to have a sell out this exhibition and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I don't know how he paints the way he does. But his works are very unique and they just seem so happy and full of life. Just like Edgar I guess.

David Kenworthy

The following posts will be to feature the champions of AinA.

The first up is David. One of our newest aritists he is one of the finest gentlemen I have met. At first he seems a bit reserved but if there is anything he can do to help he is right there.

And he does the most amazing works using light and letters. Truely an outstanding artist and a stalwart of this exhibition

We finally made it

After two weeks of intense work and a great help from those who volunteered we finally opened on Friday night.

It was amazing to see how a disused and abused old nightclub could come alive with the vibrancy of art and music filling it.

I Sold a Piece

Ha there is nothing like the feeling when you have sold a piece and the buyer is totally happy.

Spot the artist and spaot the buyer. I don't know which one is more happy.
