WINE, PAINT & PIZZA JUNE 23

Wine, Paint & Pizza is a fusion of art, wine, food and fun. An enjoyable evening with like minded people, a glass of wine and an artistic challenge. The main goal is to have fun and at the end of the evening you’ll take home your very own creation.

Bubbles, still red and white will be provided, but you’re welcome to BYO if your prefer.  Nibbles available throughout and a pizza dinner provided.

The tutor, Stephen Clively, will welcome guests, explain the program and introduce the evening’s challenges. Whether you’re an experienced painter or a first timer Stephen will guide you through the process.

All materials will be provided, all you need to bring is an apron or smock. The challenge will vary from event to event, but the goal will always be to have fun.

WP&P sells out fast – so hook up with some friends and book now!

OUR HISTORY

OUR ORIGINAL BUILDING

FLASHBACK

Flashback

How CAW exhibited in 1954.

Each ‘On Show’ exhibition by CAW makes history in its own ways.
As it happens, one of CAW’s friends, Dr Alan Jones, has been researching Canberra’s art societies.
We are grateful to Alan for discovering in the National Library the room sheet for our fifth annual exhibition in 1954.
Back then, Canberra Art Workshop was called the Canberra Art Club.
The 1954 exhibition included ‘hero’ paintings by three of the then modernist gods of the Sydney art scene, Roland Wakelin, Margo Lewers and Jean Bellette.
They provided six of the 75 paintings in the show (look at the prices!)
Our 1954 exhibition was turbocharged by including these ‘big name’ contemporary artists to boost visitor numbers.
And, nationally-known art personalities were directly involved with our organisation in other ways at that time.

Seven Decades of Art Activism

Over the decades, Canberra Art Workshop (back when we were called the Canberra Art Club) has been active in lobbying for the creation of the national capital’s major visual arts institutions.
Artists from around Australia have been associated with Canberra Art Workshop — including household names like Max Meldrum, John Coburn, Clifton Pugh, John Brack and Lloyd Rees.
It’s worth having a look at where Canberra Art Workshop came from and what we’ve achieved.
