Three Yarra Valley photographers from three generations explore the subject of polarity.

‘I have been exploring the concept of the word polarity, throughout the year.
I have done this by using photography as my medium. I now have a collection of images of old and new. I will be sharing this exhibition with two other photographers: (Mike Emmett and Bec Jones) who have been exploring Polarity in their own way.’
Melody Hammon – Year 12.

The first Contemporary Landscapes exhibition at Three Stories Art space opened to a huge audience.
Come and enjoy the diversity of Yarra Valley artists’ view of the landscape. Be challenged by their use of colour and composition, and relaxed by their sense of relationship.

Featuring 15 local artists including Jane Fitzherbert, Teresa Blazincic, Amanda Ruck and Jenny Reddin.

Teresa Blazincic - Lines of man

The aim at Three Stories Art space is to create a place where people can be confident with who they are and what they do.

With so much pressure to conform, kids sometimes find it difficult to be themselves. This class is designed to bring out their creative confidence away from the school environment. With the emphasis on drawing, children will learn techniques to help them discover & be comfortable with their own visual language. They’ll learn the value and fun of discovering things that inspire them, and learn to collect them as an artist does in a visual art diary.

These classes are a great foundation for all budding creative kids!

Mum’s and dad’s can relax on the balcony, sipping a latte and having some grown up time, whilst the kids are creating!

Price: $260
When: 6 x Tuesday afternoons, after school.
Time: 4.30 – 6pm.
What to bring: What to bring: Nothing! An ‘inspiration pack’ (value $36) is given to students at their first class.
