Have you seen our Show Photo wall? The community captured over 100 years. Dressed to the nines for this big annual event in the local social calendar.

You know all those fabulous toad bags and sculptures we have featured in the exhibition as part of our collaboration with VERMIN? Well, Lia Tabrah, the artist behind these creations and director of VERMIN is currently in our Space. Please come in and chat to Lia about her work and processes. She’ll make you look at cane toads in a completely different way!

If you are yet to visit us at 93 Queen Street, Ayr we recommend that you do in the coming days. We’ll remain open until Saturday 1 October but will begin dismantling and packing down from Friday.

If you visited us last week, pop back in, a new installation is featured following our UPStitch Workshop with Shilo and Lydia and some incredibly talented participants.

Delta at Dusk; music, food and fashion. An intimate event with incredible stories and music by Clea, Kate Martin and Dan Baker with sound and lighting by Neighbourhood Productions.

Thank you to those who joined us under the stars at Vintage Rose. We hope you made the most of the delicious food by Michels Catering and Events, sipped on some gin, devoured Justina’s sweets, appreciated the array of fresh produce from Rapisarda Enterprise and Mt Alma Organics and above all else shared a yarn.

We look forward to seeing you at Delta at Dusk in 2023.

Sunday 25 and Monday 26 September
9.30am - 3pm

UPFront Space, 95 Queeen Street

Workshop with Lydia Pearson and Shilo Engelbrecht. Come for as long or little as you like. Stay for half an hour, or a few hours.

UPSTITCH: REFASHIONING TEXTILES OF THE PAST

Join renowned fashion designer Lydia Pearson and artist Shilo Engelbrecht for a makers workshop with a difference.

Often tucked away at the back of drawers, participants are invited to bring in family crocheted tablecloths, throws, runners, fabrics, doilies and more. Collectively a new creation will be fabricated, and exhibited as part of our popup gallery in Re:Collections UPFront on Queen Street.

This created community piece will speak of a collective memory and to family heirlooms that hold dear sentimentality to us all. It will invoke a past where stitching and craft were common and routine, and along the way, many yarns and family anecdotes will be shared.

Lydia Pearson is a legend in Australian fashion. Along with Pamela Easton, Lydia ran the much loved and iconic fashion label Easton Pearson for twenty-eight years. Lydia is now a fashion academic at the Queensland University of Technology.

Shilo Engelbrecht is a visual artist. Her work is characterized by a strong use of colour, lyrical brush strokes.
