Kingborough Council is thrilled to announce the arrival of a unique portable ARTBOX.
Mayor, Paula Wriedt said the 20-foot relocatable container, repurposed as a public exhibition space was generously on loan from Huon Valley Council.
“This innovative concept will bring local art closer to the community and offer a vibrant, accessible space for local artists,” Cr Wriedt said.
“The ARTBOX will be positioned at Kingston Beach, centrally located and face the beach, where visitors can enjoy it while strolling along the esplanade.
“This exciting initiative will feature a rotating program of exhibitions, beginning with a solo exhibition by local artist Fran Parker.
“Fran’s exhibition, titled ‘Fragments’, will run from 8 January to 22 January and showcase her distinctive mixed-media artwork.
“Using found objects from the beach, Fran creates captivating pieces that reflect the natural beauty of our coastal environment.
“The portable ARTBOX will remain at Kingston Beach for a month and provide a great exhibition space for local artists to display their work.
“It is an excellent way to showcase the creativity of our local artists and bring the community together.
“Another great art exhibition being held over the summer, will be by the Margate Art Group.
“From 10 to 12 January the exhibition will feature enthusiastic landscape paintings by the group’s talented members at the KIN creative space at the Kingston Beach Hall.
Exhibition times are:
- Friday, 10 January: 10 am – 4 pm
- Saturday, 11 January: 10 am – 4 pm
