The Festival of Glass
committee is preparing for the Treasure Hunt Preview in Drysdale on 14 December
– here’s a preview of the Preview!
 |
| 2016 Treasure Hunt Preview |
At the Preview, local business people will meet local
artists from whom they have commissioned pieces of glass art as Treasure Hunt
prizes. The business people can learn how glass art is created, while the
artists can learn how their creations support the local economy.
Each local business that is part of the 2017 Festival of
Glass Treasure Hunt has commissioned a piece of glass art from a local glass
artist. During the Treasure Hunt (2 January to 18 February), each business will
display its commissioned piece; then all the commissioned pieces become prizes
in the Treasure Hunt draw at the Festival Expo on Sunday 19 February at
Drysdale’s Christian College.
Featured Festival sponsor
– Drysdale & Clifton Springs Community Association Inc. (i) Improving local people’s wellbeing
P.O. Box 581, Drysdale Vic 3222 E-mail: dryclift@bigpond.com
Members of the Drysdale & Clifton Springs
Community Association (DCSCA) live, work or study in Drysdale, Clifton Springs
or in the surrounding area; and they aim to improve local people’s well-being
and to improve the natural, social and built environments. DCSCA members meet
regularly to discuss how the local community is changing; to work with other
local groups and organisations to shape the area’s future; and to represent
local people's ideas and opinions to outside organisations.
In 2011, DCSCA
initiated the Festival of Glass as an annual event linking Drysdale with a
major cultural/social event – similar to, for example, Portarlington’s Mussel
Festival and Queenscliff’s Music Festival. In particular, the DCSCA committee
hopes that the Festival will offer
a new and unique showcase to local glass artists, craftspeople and companies;
encourage others to establish themselves in the area; and encourage local glass
companies, artists and craftspeople to collaborate.
