DRAWN TO THE CENTRE
MAY 2nd and 16th
12pm - 2pm
Everyone can draw!
We invite you to come along and draw in the gallery. Drawing is both an important process for artists to explore ideas and a great way to relax. We will have a local artist in the gallery on selected Sundays during the 2020 Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award exhibition and these artists can help you work on your drawing skills.
All ages are welcome and no experience is needed.
So if you are an artist or someone who hasn’t drawn since childhood, we invite you to renew your creative experience drawing in the gallery with a local artist.

Sunday April 25th from 6am, talk begins at 7am

Unexpectedly small towns like Dubbo were at the forefront of Australia’s emergency response, with few resources it was left to civilian organizations and municipal councils were told to Prepare Now! This is in part a story of a community unifying to support the war effort and do their bit. But it is also a story of air raid sirens and black our trials, of ‘wild orgys’, ‘dictatorship complaints’, and ‘spy alarms’…
$10 Per Person, includes a bacon and egg roll and self service tea/coffee. Barista Coffee available for purchase at Creo Café
