WHAT A NIGHT!
The Opening Night of the Red Door Creative Galleries exhibition on Friday 24th (Sarah’s brainchild) was a resounding success.
Many Redbubblers enjoyed catching up (it’s been a while)...one was even sneaky enough to catch the whole evening on time lapse photography … see here!!! It shows many familiar faces, as well as visitors from as far afield as Melbourne, Bellingin and Cootamudra …
The Mayor of Hornsby opened the event with an excellent speech recognising the importance of creative activities in the area, and Alan Cadman (former Liberal Member of Mitchell for 33 years) and his wife enjoyed the art and meeting local artists. Both men privately offered their support for future events and appreciated the fact that the venture, particularly the workshops to follow, offer a healthy and rewarding hobby for young people in the area.
And YES there were SALES! Among them, five out of seven of my Rust ‘n Roses series which I’d produced in miniature gold frames.
A huge learning curve, and a great experience!!!
CONGRATS Sarah – and thanks to the many valient helpers.
Lorraine Creagh
Wonderful news. I was so disappointed that a last minute drama pervented me from being there. I’m sure the Gallery will be a huge success.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
What a shame Lorraine – there will be other opportunities! It would have been so good to meet you in person.
Bev Woodman
Congratulations Rosalie on what appears to have been a great night and congratulations too on the sales.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thanks Bev – there’s an amazing sense of ‘family’ when RBers get together!

Congratulations Rosalie on the sale of your miniatures. I can just imagine how elegant they would look in the little gold frames. There were obviously very discerning patrons at the exhibition. And congratulations to Sarah for staging such an event with such a useful, on-going community concept. There is always such a lot of behind-the-scenes work that noone sees. Bravo to both of you.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Margo you must make it across again one day. And yes I was surprised how well the old roses came up in gold! I do have a shot of the seven of them on the antique sewing machine we used as a prop … must put it up when I get a moment. Thank YOU for the inspiration …
