ART FACILITATOR Chony Bowden from ‘Chony’s Art Room’ would like to invite the entire community to the upcoming student exhibition aptly named ‘Emerging’ which will be a showcase of the artists who attend Chony’s classes.
The exhibition will be hosted at The Old Ambulance Station in Nambour, with the opening night set for Saturday, October 5 from 6 pm with the exhibition running until October 11.
‘Emerging’ will include a wide variety of artworks including paintings from adult artists, some of whom have varied disabilities, who attend the Monday morning art class at The Coolum Hearts Shed where Chony is the teacher alongside a group of volunteers.
“This exhibition is all about students’ self-expression, providing a space for each exhibitor to feel pride in their artwork, a connection to our community, and a reminder of what is possible,” Chony said.
Other students who will be exhibiting include –
*Chonys Art School for young artists 7-12 years of age, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at The Coolum Hearts Shed.
*Chonys Art School for teens 13-16 years of age, Mondays at The Coolum Hearts Shed.
*Expressive Art Group – an adult art group in Maroochydore.
*Brookes Street Kindergarten, Nambour.
*Evolution Early Learning, Mooloolaba and Kuluin.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for emerging local artists to showcase what they have been working on to the local community,” Chony said.
Building community connections and self-confidence through art making is of high priority for Chony and one of the reasons she began her business Chony’s Art Room.
The exhibition and opening are free, and everyone is welcome to attend. For more information please visit – www.chonysartroom.com
