Take a Line for A Walk at Feilding Art Centre
On March 15, six blank canvases will be hung on the walls at Feilding Art Centre. We need your help to transform them into beautiful, colourful works of art... simply by picking up a pastel and taking a line for a walk.
How does it work?
• To Take a Line for a Walk, visit Feilding Art Centre between 10am and 12pm on any of four 'Painting Days'
• Pick out some pastels in colours that make you smile
• Start drawing! Take your line for a walk across the canvas in any direction you desire. Make a line that forms patterns, people, shapes – it’s up to you
• At the end of each session, each canvas will be returned to the wall for our visitors to enjoy
You don’t need to be an artist to Take a Line For a Walk – just bring a friend and have some fun!
Completed works will be sold at a silent auction on Thursday April 14, and exhibited until April 19.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
