Creative Conversations

A series of talks and workshops celebrating the arts in the Town of Vincent

Vincent is noted for the number of creative individuals living and working within its boundaries. Creative Conversations aims to highlight some of these individuals and share their skills, creativity, knowledge and enthusiasm with the broader community.

The talks will be held at the Library & Local History Centre and feature prominent artists across many fields – Kevin Robertson (figurative painter), Barry Strickland (writer/documentary maker), Tony Nathan (photographer), Chrissie Parrott and Jonathan Mustard (dance and multi-media artists), Judith Forrest (visual artist) and Adrian Iredale (architect).

The workshops will be held in various locations around the Town and include topics such as painting, documenting artwork, film-making, T-shirt design (youth workshop) and drawing.

A Celebration of Writing will also be held at The Bodhi Tree from 24 July-1 August 2010.

Beginning in June, the programme will run for approximately six weeks.

Fremantle Bazaar - call out for applicants!

Fremantle Art Centre’s annual Bazaar takes place over the first weekend of December. We pride ourselves on presenting our audience with the highest calibre of West Australian designed wares, from crafts and homewares to fashion, textiles, jewellery and beyond.

In 2010 we introduce a new format for Bazaar, where the Friday night market is open to the public. This enables us to trade at full capacity from 5pm–9pm Friday night, alongside the 9am–5pm hours on Saturday and Sunday.

Please take note of some important points before proceeding with the registration of interest form.

Applications are collected until close of business, Friday 6 August.

Applications must be accompanied by examples of your work and some written material about your business, and what you create. Hard copies mailed or delivered to FAC are preferable, but high-quality colour photographs are also accepted via e-mail.

The quality of the examples you send will have a direct bearing on the outcome of your application. Any information you can provide about why you’re a great fit for Bazaar will help inform the judges’ decision.

A team of experienced judges from Fremantle Arts Centre will select the stallholders for Bazaar 10. The judges’ decision is final.

Only stallholders with exclusively WA designed material can be selected. Proof that your work bears a strong connection to WA will be required if requested. FAC reserves the right to reject applications on the basis of this criterion.

Fremantle Arts Centre takes a 25% + GST commission on all sales. There is strict protocol for making sales – all transactions occur at the sales tent, never at the stall.

Signage is supplied by Fremantle Arts Centre unless by special arrangement.

Bazaar is a cornerstone of Fremantle Arts Centre’s annual program. It is a highlight of the WA events calendar, and attracts eager shoppers from all corners of the state. Please join us in making this year’s Bazaar yet another fine showcase of the state’s best wares in our most exciting Christmas market yet.

Streeeeeeeeetch

Hi Everyone,

As you may have noticed, we've changed around the website and taken a few things down. This happened mainly becasue we were over-extending ourselves in all areas, and we tried to grow too fast, like the baby who tries to run before he can stand and ends up with a mud-face. So for now, our next market is at The Saint in July. We look forward to seeing you all for the first time this year, its been too long!!!

p.s. In other news, stay tuned for an exciting new website, that will really reflect who we are as a community and our style. We'd love your feedback on what you want to see on the MOTL website, so either drop me a line, or comment here in the comments section.

xx Lauren & The Team.
