Last chance for a Pinch of Saffron
THERE are just a couple of days left if you wish to get along to ‘A Pinch Of Saffron’ the latest exhibition at the Douglas Arts Studio Gallery Inc.
Known as DAB and situated at 11 Mill Street in Mossman, the gallery has been presenting a collection of local art since early March, which runs until this Saturday, April 5.
DAB is located in an amazing Heritage listed building, which was originally a branch of the Port Douglas National Bank of Australasia. Architect Lange L. Powell designed the elaborate ‘Greek Temple’ façade for this timber building to give people confidence in the bank. It seems fitting that such a beautiful building is now home for an Arts Studio Gallery.
Facilities include a studio gallery where art classes are held and members can exhibit and sell their artwork, plus there are two sheds out the back for pottery, mosaics and glass work.
A wide variety of art classes are offered where participants can learn to draw, paint, do pottery, mosaics, or work with glass. DAB caters for absolute beginners and also the more experienced artists, so there is something for everyone.
Locals and visitors are always welcome to pop in for a browse, with the Gallery open Monday to Saturday from 10am until 2pm. Entry is by gold coin donation which helps to support future projects.
I must also say a big well-done to the volunteers that help make this superb asset, in the Douglas Shire, tick along.
