Farmer’s armour a textile graft BY LIV HUNNAM ARTISTS from as far away as Queensland and Western Australia are vying for the $1,000 prize money offered for two exhibitions at CrossXpollinatioN – a feast of textile and fibre art happening at Colac in July. Red Rock Regional Theatre and Gallery (RRRTAG) has teamed up with Colac Otway Performing Arts and Cultural Centre (COPACC) to present a busy program of exhibitions, floor talks, workshops and a makers’ market. A $500 prize has been posted for artists to create an innovative, multimedia work, incorporating a fibre component with the theme of Grafted at Cororooke’s RRRTAG, on weekends from July 6 to August 25. For another chance at a cash prize, the Farmers’ Armour exhibition is the second display to offer $500 for the best wearable art design at COPACC from July 6-14. CrossXpollinatioN’s creative director Carole Redlich said Grafted and Farmers’ Armour had fired and encouraged the imagination of artists from near and far. “The very concept of CrossXpollinatioN – encouraging artists from a great variety of disciplines
to cross-pollinate, and the themes of Farmers’ Armour and Grafted have captured their imaginations,” Mrs Redlich said. “CrossXpollinatioN was planned by RRRTAG and COPACC with a group of local artists to reflect the interest and talents of the community’s textile artists.” Art Without Borders, a textile exhibition chronicling 12 migrants’ journeys to Australia, will also be at COPACC during CrossXpollinatioN. The program includes 16 workshops covering sculptural felting, basketry, book binding, papermaking and more. Melbourne’s Catherine O’Leary and Geelong’s Dijanne Cevaal will exhibit work with Princetown fibre artist Sue Ferrari at COPACC during CrossXpollinatioN. COPACC is also hosting a Creative Foyer from July 6-13 daily between 10am and 4pm to encourage community artists to bring forward their creative work, as well as a Suitcase Makers’ Market in the COPACC foyer from 9.30am-4pm. Art makers will be able sell their work at the market on Sunday July 7. Details of CrossXpollinatioN exhibitions, workshops and entry forms are available at copacc.com.au.

St James to stage first play BY TIFFANY PILCHER THE recently formed St James Players theatre group from the Anglican Parish of the Bellarine are ready to raise the curtain on their exciting first production on Friday July 5. The production, Do You Remember This? is filled with much-loved songs and original sketches as well as an interesting twist that is sure to appeal to all ages.
