Star Weaving Sessions
One Million Stars to End Violence is a community based initiative with the aim of making one million stars, which are symbols of light, courage and solidarity to end all forms of violence, including violence against women, bullying and racism (see http://www.onemillionstars.net/ ).

The Northern Beaches Constellation is a group of  friends who have committed to making and teaching others to make a total of 10,000 stars from the Northern Beaches for this project.  We are working towards displaying the locally made 10,000 stars  at a White Ribbon Day event on the Northern Beaches.  They will then be sent to the Gold Coast to be part of an installation of 1,000,000 stars for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

We will be running 'Star Weave Jams' (sessions) during the exhibition to help us spread the word about this community project and reach our star goal.  Materials and know-how will be provided - the stars are not difficult to make but young children should be accompanied by an adult.  The sessions are free and you are encouraged to drop in at any time during the sessions (no bookings required).

Star Weaving Sessions will be held at The Creative Space in North Curl Curl on:
    Wednesday 28th September   1pm - 3pm
    Saturday       1st October       12pm - 3pm
    Thursday      6th October  10.30am - 12.30pm
    Saturday       8th October       12pm - 3pm

Encaustic Demonstration
A demonstration of basic encaustic techniques and processes will be given by A&SC member Laurie McKern at The Creative Space on Thursday 22nd September 2016 at 2pm.  It will take about 40 mins - 1 hour.  This event is free.

Collaboration with Desire Books & Records
Dom Romeo, Julia Wilson, Matt Jackson and a friend from Desire Books & Records will respond to the art works in the exhibition on Friday 7th October 2016, 6:30pm for 7pm start.  Their diverse creative expression ranges from comedy to poetry.  This should be a evening of artful insight and entertainment.  Gold coin donation.

Guided Exhibition Tours
Each Sunday during the exhibition, we will be providing a guided tour of the art works on display.  Some of the artists will be in attendance to answer any of your questions.  The tours will start at 2pm and take about 30 minutes.  The tours are free.

En Plein Air Painting
The regular monthly A&SC En Plein Air session will be held at The Creative Space on Wednesday 28th September 2016, 10am - 1pm.  Both A&SC members and non-members are welcome - come to paint, draw or just support a friend.  The session is free.  Bring your own materials.
