Art classes
To all you keen artist out there! EXPLORE YOUR CREATIVITY!
A new and exciting opportunity has come to Flagstaff. The Art Garage, your destination for creativity, in Cashmere Place, is seeking expressions of interest in attending art classes. This is your opportunity to explore your creativity in a fun and collegial environment. To help in establishing the timetable we would like your input into:
which medium you prefer ( oil, watercolour, acrylic, mixed media/collage); and
whether you prefer morning (9.30am to 12.30pm) or afternoon classes (12 noon to 3pm).
You will be taught by a qualified tutor/ working artist in classes of no more than 10 adults.
We are considering that the first class will be mornings on Wednesdays for a 6 week period starting 8 Feb but this is open to your suggestions.
No children's classes are proposed at this stage.
WE WANT YOU! WHEN CAN YOU COME?
We look forward to your responses.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
