10th Art in the Park

Norfolk’s 10th Art in the Park is in its final days at Kingston, opposite Slaughter Bay.

The exhibition closes on June 14 so take this last opportunity to go and have a look at the amazing creativity of the Norfolk Island people.

The most outstanding exhibit is ‘Improbobull’, a carving by Archie Bigg (our most famous poet) and his grandson James, complete with this own little fenced yard.

You will see the ‘chainsaw man’ by Kevin and Jill from KCIndustries, two amazing scarecrows from the Banyan Park kids, lots of exhibits from our NICS kids, including a ‘Mandella’ from the years 1-2, a ‘turtle’ fashioned from stone and plants, an Anson Bay Express and many others. There is a ‘living picture’ and a ‘moving picture’, spiders and fairies in Chimney Hill, octopus and spiders in trees, one of George Douran’s amazing and glamorous fashion outfits, and a Teddy Bear’s picnic, just to mention a few.

Many thanks again to Community Arts and all those associated with this event and especially to all those who had taken the time to make this event successful.
