Take a Line for A Walk - Free Art Making for All Ages
On March 15, six blank canvases will be hung on the walls at Feilding Art Centre. We need your help to transform them into beautiful, colourful works of art…simply by picking up a pastel and taking a line for a walk.
How does it work? Simply join us on one of our ‘Painting Days’ – Each Saturday from 19 March to 9 April, pick a colour that makes you smile, and add it to whichever canvas is being worked on that day. As visitors come and go, the canvas will change, be worked and reworked, then hung back on the wall for the public to enjoy.
Finished works will be sold at a silent auction on Thursday April 14, and exhibited through to April 19.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
