Poppy Appeal generosity
Guan Wang, Maria Bartlett and Judith Stretton have organised an art gallery for this weekend at Picton Baptist Church.
Church group gets arty By Megan Connolly The Picton Baptist Church will be hosting a gallery of local art at their church in Picton on Saturday from 10am to 4pm and Sunday from 9am to 1pm. The inspiration came when organiser Guan Wang noticed that many of the people from her parish were incredibly talented when it came to arts and crafts. “The idea just grew as I noticed
all of us are very talented in different ways,” Guan says. “It showcases the hidden talents from our parish.” The gallery is an opportunity for people to celebrate art and the creativity in each other, the organisers say. “We were encouraged to look into ourselves. “Sometimes we think we’re too busy but we can learn to develop
our potential. “Art is not for art’s sake. Art is for God’s sake,” Guan says. There is a wide range of arts and crafts showcasing many talents from all ages and stages, including knitting, colouring, pottery, painting and needlework . “People are pitching in, it’s amazing,” Maria Bartlett says. It’s open for the wider community to have a look at and celebrate
talent too, the organisers say. If the gallery goes well this year, they may extend the reach of artworks out into the whole community and maybe even develop a craft group, Maria says. The church will be providing some drinks and snacks Saturday and pot luck lunch on the Sunday.
