PLANS FOR 2010


Cornucopia Art Program has got off to a great start with the wonderful news that TAFE Outreach at Meadowbank has agreed to fund a new 10 week program. This will mean that the current group of 8 artists will continue on Tuesday mornings and an additional class will run in the afternoon. The new class will be for artists with some experience who wish to develop their studio practice and start thinking about developing a body of works. Many of these artists have considerable talent and have been waiting patiently for funding to become available. So watch this space or more news.

Art Exhbitions 2009



In 2009 Artists from Cornucopia Art Program exhibited in several exhibitions. In May artists from the group won a 2nd Prize and a highly commended at the Broughton House Exhibition in additions others sold several works. In October members of the group took part in a group exhibition 'Coming Together' to celebrate Mental Health Week. The exhibition was held at Macquarie Hospital Education Centre.

Cornucopia Artists held their annual Art Exhibiton in early December at the Cornucopia Cafe. It was an overwhelming success with record sales of artworks, 3D works (Ruth's plastic bags) and cards. Some of the money raised through sales of the cards was returned to the artists and money put aside to buy art materials.

Artworks are still available for viewing at the Cornucopia Cafe.
