A Sweet & Savoury Crafternoon with SEA Friends was a lively, hands-on afternoon filled with creativity, connection, and delicious South East Asian flavours. Participants gathered to create colourful collages and zines, exploring their creativity through playful, self-guided making.

Alongside the arts and crafts, everyone had the chance to savour a selection of South East Asian treats, including sakoo yat sai, a savoury tapioca dumpling from Laos, and martabak, a sweet, fluffy Indonesian pancake.

It was a joyful celebration of art, food, and community, bringing people together through shared experiences and cultural flavours.

Thank you to Tim, Mars, and Patricia from for collaborating with Next Generation Arts and hosting this fun event!

Join us in the Public Reception for Next Generation Art’s summer juried exhibition Piece By Piece, as we celebrate our featured artists’ works coming together in our gallery space.

Piece By Piece is a celebration of process, connection, discovery, and the many ways an artwork comes together. It embraces the fragments, layers, revisions, and unexpected moments that shape creative practice, while reflecting on how individual pieces can become part of something larger.

Featuring works by artists who each bring their own perspective to the theme, the exhibition reveals the many ways art can be constructed, transformed, and reimagined. Through diverse mediums, techniques, and approaches, each work offers a glimpse into the choices, experiments, and discoveries that shape an artist’s creative journey.
