ART PROFESSION WORKSHOP ~ Melborne Australia
Knocking on heaven’s door: How to get exhibitions and money.
Danny Lacy and Kelly Fliedner
Sunday 4 November, 12 – 3pm
This series is designed to develop the skills of artists, writers, curators and arts workers across a range of professional competencies. To meet this need, West Space have developed a series of afternoon workshops, each of which is designed to tackle some ‘frequently asked questions’ and to help you navigate the (sometimes treacherous) waters of the Melbourne art world.
VISUAL ART EXHIBITING
Studio Residency Program 2012 ~ Sydney Australia
The Firstdraft Emerging Artist Studio Residency program provides emerging artists with the opportunity to develop their practice and exhibit within a dynamic artistic community in central Sydney. Firstdraft studio artists are encouraged to use the timeframe and studio to create and exhibit work not normally encouraged by the short time frames available for installing work. The program provides an opportunity to work in a dynamic environment with access to a community of peers, encouraging artists to become more involved in an Artist Run Initiative (ARI).
All 2012 Firstdraft Emerging Artist Studio Residency Program applicants will complete their studio residency at the Depot in Woolloomooloo. This studio program has been developed to increase the breadth of Firstdraft’s involvement with and support for emerging experimental arts in Australia.
The Firstdraft studio residency program is supported by The Visual Arts and Craft Strategy through The Australian government and the New South Wales Government.
Firstdraft will provide the successful applicant with:
A studio space in the Firstdraft Depot at Riley St Woolloomooloo for 12 weeks [non-residential
A flat artist fee for work completed during the studio residency program.
A fully subsidised three-week exhibition at Firstdraft upon completion of the program

Eugène Atget
Old Paris
Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney
Lose yourself in the beauty of Old Paris with over 200 rare and original prints from the founder of documentary photography.
His bellows camera, glass plates and printing technique may link him to earlier 19th-century photography, but the vision of Eugène Atget (1857–1927) was an astonishingly modern one.
The best of Atget’s work is revealed through his images of the streets of Old Paris. In a time of rapid transformation, Atget captured the buildings, gardens, old shops and streets that had not been touched by Baron Haussmann’s 19th-century modernisation program. We are shown a city remote from the clichés of the Belle Époque, a genuine glimpse into the past of this iconic metropolis.
Considered the founder of documentary photography, Atget and his enigmatic images inspired numerous artists including Brassaï, the Surrealists, Walker Evans and Berenice Abbott, as well as Man Ray, who collected some of the photographs included in the exhibition.

WITCHY MAGIC BOOK IS HERE!
This was so wonderful and I am THRILLED to be a part of this magical book by Serene & Lucy.
The book is filled with so much wisdom, love, magic, ideas and well just everything!
I chat about my art and spiritual connections and I've given ideas and on creating your own Talismans and looking after those you have!
So many others have shared their love and insights in this book too! It really is going to be one of my favourites. I adored Faery Magic and her sister Mermaid Magic, this is the Crystal in the Magical Faery Crown for ME! :)
From the Website:
WITCHY MAGIC
Step into the world between the worlds and the wisdom of your inner Witch to create an inspiring and magical life...
Wise Woman, Medicine Man, Priestess, Druid, Shaman, Witch… Throughout the ages these magical practitioners have worked with natural forces for healing, divination and greater understanding of the world and our place within it. Today many more people are feeling the call to walk the path of the Witch, to be healer, spellcaster, eco warrior, intuitive and ritualist. To connect again with the energy of the earth and the wisdom of Witchcraft.
From the authors of Faery Magic and Mermaid Magic comes an enchanting new adventure into the power and beauty of the Craft of the Wise, with clear guidance on how you can access this ancient knowledge to create the life you dream of. Witchcraft is an earth-honouring spiritual path and an empowering, beautiful and balanced way of being at one with the universe, taking responsibility for your life, and transforming your every word and action into a ritual and an alchemical tool of change.

TALISMAN Flannel Flower Commissions
I am working with Flannel Flower energy to bring about a Collection which focus on the energies of these beautiful messangers of the Australian Spring.
I have an divine secret place in a quiet tucked away track. High on rocky clif overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Here I collect Flannel Flowers each year to use in my own potions and mists and this year, after perfecting my Talisman setting techniques, I will be creating Flannel Flower Talismans.
Each month I will be working with a different flower so I can really focus on their energy and intentions.
If you would like to book a Talisman Commission (these will be ready in two weeks!) pop into my Etsy Store.
CHERALYN'S ETSY STORE
Each will look SIMILAR to my Mexican Daisy Talismans and be set in a slice of a fallen gum branch.
I create all my Talismans completely by hand, myself, in the Magic Workshop.
This video on Youtube will give you a very clear idea of what they look like!
They will float within a little watery pool and I'm happy to add wings if you would like, including my new hand painted wings!
The Flannel Flower Talismans will be blessed and dedicated in a ritual I will video for you back where they grew on completion.
She will be sent to you with a Blessing & Spell Kit for you to Dedicate your Intentions
and empower your Talisman Energetically.
Each Talisman is a little work of art, no two are ever the same or ever could be and all are created with love, positive energy, magic and care.
FLANNEL FLOWER TALISMANS by Cheralyn
These white Goddesses of the Australian Spring promote joy, happiness and success in new beginnings.
A very positive influence in promoting trust in self and in allowing healing to commence and trust rebuilding in others and situations that have caused negative influence in the past.
Gentleness and grace with openness are energies that Flannel Flower embody
with those who work with her.
Feelings are more easily understood and communicated. Your ability to understand and verbalise your feelings is another gift of Flannel Flower when worn.
Flannel Flower is a very good energy for males who feel they require balance with sensitivity and gentleness.

Have a WONDERFUL Weekend,
Much Love & HAPPIEST Creative Blessings,
