Art Walk

The inaurgral Art Walk was on in Port Macquarie last Thursday evening. I realised at the last minute so we ran into town - OK well we drove into town that is, to take part in the walk.

There were so many people taking part that parking was hard to find - who'd a thought, trouble parking in Port?! We had a fun night taking part wandering the streets with thousands of others - loved the light cubes. Think Vivid but on a smaller scale.

Artist Yvonne Kiely hosted the giant 'colour me mandala' in the Glasshouse forecourt...

where many happy budding artists took up the challenge of creating a community artwork.

'Art is like chocolate for the brain', Dr Gene Cohen says and I'd have to agree watching the delighted faces of all taking part in the walk.

You had to be quick though as any spare room in the mandala got snatched up quickly...

We were delighted to watch art projections on local buildings...

Mic Rees hosted one of the projections with his iPad Art

The projections on The Old Courthouse were very moving - visual stories of those who had loved and lost to war...

and a change of pace - we loved the window display at Sunset Gallery.

Many of the local stores featured artist's works and artist's were to be found at various spots around town painting, which was fun to watch. A great night had by all I imagine.
