The mosaic work (pictured) titled ‘Jen’ by Linda Prowse may be familiar as it is the portrait she created for the HEADS UP Portrait exhibition earlier this year. It also won the People’s Choice Award.

The Raglan Gallery and Monaro Art Group (MAG) are thrilled that Linda will be one of the experts at the Arts in Action event demonstrating their practise and sharing some secrets for anyone interested in using mosaics in their own practise.

Arts in Action will be held at the Raglan Gallery on Sunday, 28 September from 10.30am to 3.30pm.

The Raglan and MAG have joined forces to present this day of art demonstrations. They have nine different artists showing their skills. There will also be two talks. One is by Kate Bradbury, the South East Arts Organisation director, who will reveal all that SEA has to offer for anyone in the arts industry, and the other by photographer Wendy McDougall who will share her experience in a talk called ‘The Art of Exhibiting’ based on her experience of being involved in more than 70 exhibitions in her career.

Aside from mosaics there will be painting, weaving, pottery, calligraphy, drawing, mixed media and textiles demonstrations and everyone is welcome to come and chat with each artist to ask anything they like about the work. Other artists involved include Andrew Dawes, Liz Sherlock, Rita Brademann, Tein McDonald and Judith Truter.

The day is also designed for non-artists who might benefit from watching and listening to artists. From this orgainsers hope they may feel more comfortable in visiting galleries anywhere.

For $5 you can buy a cake with a cup of tea or coffee throughout the day. Buy tickets in reception and redeem at food table in the Tillers Gallery.

There is also a raffle to win an original painting by the artist Carleta Delac.
