We are THAT excited about this one!

20 years ago, a local hairdresser had an idea to create a space where artists could work together, exhibit, and share their love of art.

This month, we celebrate Michelle's vision, and ArtsCapes place in Wynyard over the past 2 decades.

ArtsCape has undergone many changes through the years; location, committee, members, logos and paint colours, but at the heart of it, its purpose still remains the same. Supporting artists in the North West, and giving them the space to shine.

Join us on Friday May 22nd for 'Home is Where the Art is' an celebration of 20 years of ArtsCape Wynyard.
If you would like to exhibit in this show, head over the artscapewynyard.com to enter!🎨

Another fantastic PL with the support of Riverside High School, The Tasmanian Principals Association and in Partnership with Zart, our Vice-President ran a Professional Learning Session in our Art Room for Art Teachers across the North. First up Caz shared her classroom practice and expertise with a range of resources and teaching strategies. Followed by Zart who then hosted a live virtual drawing session with artist Nic Plowman. It was a fantastic professional learning session that allowed Art Teachers to come together to collaborate and reflect on their own art teaching practice.

Thank you so much Meg, Reece High School, TPA, and Zart. An awesome PL 👌

Arts education in Australia is in crisis.

If we don’t want an artless country, we cannot have artless schools.

We are calling for a national inquiry into arts education.

Please take one minute to sign our Australian Parliament e-petition. Every voice counts.

A decade ago, when STEM subjects faced high levels of out-of-field teaching, governments intervened and invested in strengthening the STEM teacher workforce.

Today, the arts face a similar challenge.

Across Australia, 1 in 4 arts classes are taught by teachers outside their area of qualification.

Students deserve access to teachers trained in the arts.
