Thank you to everyone who supported our wonderful art exhibition
Art plays a vital role in bringing like-minded creative people in our community together.
It would be wonderful if the ACT Government would provide a facility for the arts in the Woden Town Centre, this major hub has a fast growing population and is accessible by public transport from across the region. We will continue to advocate for a multi-purpose arts facility for visual and performing arts, and music to empower our artists, enhance the community’s well-being and bring a ‘vibe’ to our streets to Create Woden as a destination.
Please sign our petition for a multi-purpose arts facility on the ACT Government’s e-petitions site here

Sheen - @sheensketchess
I am an aspiring artist who works with oil on canvas, acrylic paint and pigment liners. Always seeking to create and to be inspired, I find doing art greatly therapeutic and am grateful to be able to do it everyday.
Venturing more into oil paintings of galaxies, I aim to infuse a little bit of the universe into everyone’s homes.
Art has been a huge part of my life and I never know what else I would be doing if not creating more art. I hope to continue doing art for as long as I am able to as it brings so much joy to me and I hope it does the same to those who look at them.

Jennifer Baird - @jen_at_fifth_season
Jennifer Baird is a mid career multi-media 2D artist, encompassing printmaking, collage and recycled media constructions and painting. She has called Canberra home for 13 years.
She has rediscovered her love for screen printing, which she studied at UTS in a Bachelor of Design. Instead of fabric it is now paper, ‘I love the sound of the squeegee pushing the ink through the screen onto the paper.... I was meant to be a printmaker.’
Another development is minimalism, especially in the palette knife oil paintings. ‘I love painting with the palette knife, making ripples - just like icing a cake.’ Her collages have also become more abstract and minimal.
