Kangaroo Arts Space a great place for artists and those who enjoy Art!
Kangaroo Arts Space a great place for artists and those who enjoy Art!
Went to the opening of the new Kangaroo Flat Arts space tonight. Opened by the Mayor of Bendigo, Cr Rod Fyffe, the space is a credit to all those who have invested time, money and sponsorship. I loved the lighting, the professional style of hanging system the lovely off white walls and the whole layout. Also I must say I am particularly partial to the vintage feel to some of the furnishings in the meeting space/workshop area. Topped off by a great range of home made cooking from arts member Elaine and a cuppa it was a great night. Well done to all!
