Cinema discussions Pop-up exhibitions
C
OMMUNICATION is ongoing between the Daylesford Community Theatre and Hepburn Shire Council regarding an alternative location for the cinema.
Two sites in particular within the Rex and the existing library have the potential to meet the needs of the cinema and detailed assessments are being carried out. Theatre deputy president Gina Lyons said: “We look forward to having further discussions with the Hepburn Shire in the coming weeks in relation to the two proposed sites that the Shire agreed would be suitable for the cinema's location”. “We feel the Rex is our natural home and we see the potential of co-location with the shire for extending the use of the cinema as a community asset. “The library would be a stand-alone option and its position on the Midland Highway just off Vincent Street also makes it an attractive site for the cinema. “We also appreciate the great local support for maintaining a community cinema in Daylesford. “The Daylesford Community Theatre will do our best to make sure that the council will provide the locals with a venue for the cinema that the community can enjoy and be proud of."
T
HE Daylesford Museum is hosting a series of pop-up exhibitions of local artists.
The first was John Stormer Green known to most locals as Jack Green of Green’s drapery (now eCasa) on the corner of Vincent Street and Central Springs Road. Jack was a prolific painter of Daylesford and its districts for more than 50 years and as a student of Daylesford Technical School in the 1940s he was taught art by the master, John E Grant, and later went on to teach many local people himself. Places in his classes were eagerly sought after and former students include Mavis Anderson, Fay Chapman, Heather Grant, Margot Jordan, Alma Kretchko, Chris Lannigan and Betty Togni. Jack painted scenes of Daylesford often focusing on views of Wombat Hill from various places around the district such as Table Hill, Bald Hill, Wheeler’s Hill Road and Elevated Plains. He painted many Yandoit and Glenlyon properties, some of which were of family significance. He also captured some of the most breathtaking views we enjoy in the districts around Daylesford such as Musk and Eganstown. The Daylesford & District Historical Society is keen to photograph his paintings and make a catalogue of Jack’s work to keep as a permanent record of one man’s view of the town and surrounding districts. Anyone with a painting by J. Stormer Green who would like it to be part of this catalogue can Jan in 5348 1453 or history.daylesford@hotmail.com
