Not only a celebration of local creativity, the event also aims to foster a deeper connection with the region’s natural beauty and its role in sustaining life. The Postcard Show will take place from November 8-17 at Woy Woy Environment Hall, with a venue capacity of 30 people at a time to ensure an intimate and engaging experience for visitors. “By showcasing postcard-sized artwork inspired by Brisbane Water, we hope to bring people together to celebrate our diverse community and appreciate the natural beauty of Brisbane Water and its life-giving landscape,” event co-ordinator Melanie McDonald said.
“Nothing captures the spirit of a destination quite like a postcard, making it an impactful tool for encouraging exploration and appreciation of our vibrant Central Coast culture. “Postcard-sized art is not only accessible and collectible but also space-saving and sustainable. “This compact format allows artists to experiment with new techniques and ideas while creating affordable artwork.
” McDonald holds a PhD in art education and has recently completed postgraduate studies in inclusive and special education. Although this is her first time organising a community art event, her background in community-based environmental education programs and commitment to accessible art experiences will be instrumental in building a creative community exhibition. Accessible art workshops, which provide hands-on experiences, will allow participants of all skill levels to engage wit.
