Hi Visitor

This newsletter is to let all of our younger artists know about the Art Gallery of NSW Young Archie 2014 competition.  During Term 2 students who wish to participate can work on their submissions during term.  We would love to see you be involved and share a photo of your entry on our Facebook Page.

Also we are "Introducing" 2 new tutors who are involved in both school student and adult classes - Olena Kosenko and Matthew Kentmann.  A short summary of  their profiles is included further in this newsletter.

Although they started with us in Term 1,  things were so busy that we didn't get the chance to properly introduce them. A short summary of  their profiles is included further in this newsletter.

 All the tutors  are looking forward to seeing you all again next term.

 All the Best ... Helen
