Avenel Celebrates local creativity this September
Avenel is gearing up for a month-long celebration of local creativity with its Arts in Avenel in September series of events.
These events will showcase the town’s vibrant artistic spirit and bring together residents of all ages through a diverse range of art-related activities.
Following the success of local Angus Cameron’s work in the ARTBOX at Jubilee Park over the past three weeks, the new exhibition showcases the talents of the Avenel community’s varied art and craft. This month-long celebration of local creativity is highlighted under the umbrella of Arts in Avenel in September.
Throughout September, Strathbogie Shire Council as well as the Avenel community will host several key events designed to engage the community and its local talent.
Strathbogie Shire Administrator Peter Stephenson said Arts in Avenel in September is more than just a series of events—it’s testament to the power of art and its ability to build community connections.
‘By showcasing both established and emerging talent, the initiative aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the arts within Avenel and inspire ongoing creative endeavours,’ Mr Stephenson said.
‘It’s exciting to work with the Avenel community to bring people together once again through art.
‘The success of the ARTBOX in Avenel has showed us just how much creativity and talent exists within Avenel, and we’re thrilled to continue that momentum with these upcoming events,’ he added.
The events are open to everyone, with many designed to encourage active participation from residents of all ages. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just curious about exploring your creative side, Arts in Avenel in September offers something for everyone.
