In a world filled with fear and uncertainty- look to the artists.
The musicians, the painters, the poets, offer us hope, expression, truth, connection.
Artists are the beating heart at the centre of any culture.
The story-tellers, dream-weavers and visionaries that remind us of our humanity.
Of other ways to feel, see and be in the world.
It takes incredible bravery to choose a life in the arts- especially when times are tough.
But when the world makes no sense, we need artists more than ever.
To guide us back to ourselves.
To see the beauty in the world in all it's complexities.
To remind us that amidst it all, there is still a world worth fighting for.
I am so lucky that I get to remind artists every day that what they do- and who they are- has value.
To focus my attention on the kind of world I want- where collective hope and the power of community will always be stronger than fear.
Join me this weekend to show the extraordinary artists of the Dandenong Ranges that their talent and their bravery do not go unnoticed.
Here’s what the @burrinja arts fair looked like last weekend. Alice from @garrettforgeworks , @josh.l.yates and I had all hands on steel to do some fullering and upsetting to make some ball ends. Unfortunately, our neuro spicy brains got caught up and forgot to keep up the documentation, so didn’t get shots of the final outcome! Regardless, we had a sensational day with a bunch of incredibly talented artists and lovely folk that came out despite the shitty weather! Special shout out and thanks to CJ Baxter for the invite to join and bringing this magic vision alive, and Brent from @theforgeinstitute.inc - carrying the torch on in the midst an unfathomable storm - you are both an inspiration. If you haven’t yet, head to @garrettforgeworks and @theforgeinstitute.inc and give these wonderful humans and artist a follow! See you next year @burrinja arts fair! ⚒️🔥🖤
It's getting exciting now, only a couple more days till I get to be Wingman for all the rad babes that want to expand their social circle or dare I say it- find LOVE 😍
This will be the first event of it's kind for me so I'm stoked that Sooki Lounge is giving me the opportunity to give it a whirl!
So if you would like a fun night out to connect with some awesome humans (and in turn support my new venture so I can keep doing it!) book your tix NOW!
