Art in the Sand for Neighbours Day/Week
Put aside March 23! Around 3pm, the Rose Centre will put on an art event that can involve you and your families at Narrow Neck beach.
Acclaimed sand artist David Hilliam (Google David Hilliam beach tagger) will create a beach art right there in the sand. Join us for a piece of fun and art for all. Just come and watch, or put your hand up for David to have you be part of the art rendering team. If you want to add to the art make sure you bring a rake, leaf rake or big stick/pole.
This is a 100% free event. Just show up, bring your own refreshments and of course the Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap SunSmart suggested behaviour is highly recommended!
We look forward to seeing you there!
