If you want to discover artists’ studios in Sydney, then this course is for you.

Have you ever wondered what its like inside an artist’s studio and how and why they make their art? Are you curious to meet and chat informally with artists in their own creative spaces? Then join one of our guided walking tours through Newtown to the Lennox Street Studios. The tour includes a visit to a local gallery, a walk down the back lanes of Newtown to the Lennox Street Studios and an introduction and conversation with at least four artists.

It will conclude with wine & cheese on the verandah and an invitation to the opening night of the Studio’s annual exhibition. Those who want to carry on after the tour has finished will be given a guide to favourite artist haunts and hangouts in the streets of Newtown.

Agenda

During this course the intention is that the following topics will be covered, but not necessarily in the order given. Due to the variable nature of Adult Education classes, parts of the curriculum may be adapted to suit the needs of the class.

The tour will provide opportunity for small groups of people to meet one of the founders of the Lennox Street Studios and several of the artists to discuss their work and inspiration.

Objectives

The intended Learning Outcomes for this course are as follows.

By the end of the course, students will have:

• Developed insights into art life and studio environments in Newtown
• Discovered some fantastic works of original art and chatted to the artists directly

Other information (details to be confirmed)

Please meet at Wilson Street Gallery at 2pm, where you will meet your Guide, Jennie Pry. Jennie can be reached on 0405 452 512 if you have any problems getting there on the day.
