Friday on my mind

After a day off the trail it was a pleasure to get out to some more Art Feast venues today and gear up for the weekend’s festivities.

I dropped into Teasdale’s on Pelican Lagoon to scan the impressive range of work by members of the Ayliffe family. Jenny and Bob were enjoying the first quiet day they’d had since Art Feast began.

Over at The Shed at American River the woodwork was a quirky treat in among the cakes, paintings and giant doll house.

And outside the installation looked like the sort of place that will generate stories, companionship and play. It was a work of community and it’s sure to be a place of community.

And so to the Spirit Feast and guest choir, Young Voices of Melbourne. What a joy to hear skilled, joyous, disciplined young voices with instrumental interludes. Just lovely. And those youngsters tucked into the country supper afterwards with just as much gusto as they’d put into their singing.

And towards the end of the day I had good news about further substantial sales from Art Feast artists. Excellent news for our hardworking and talented Island artists.
