In 2008, FORM launched the Let's Get Started! program, offering painting workshops for Indigenous Artists living in South Hedland. Since then, the group has been coming together every month for week-long sessions with mentors Helen Ansell and Sara Barnes.
The Spinifex Hill collective is currently composed of 15 artists, creating beautiful, unique and accomplished work. They have already developed both a recognisable style as a collective, and distinct individual styles.
The “Let’s Get Started!” workshops have begun again for 2010 - this time with a record number of attendances as our numbers have been swelling into the twenties each day! This year we are working towards a themed exhibition at the Courthouse Gallery - exploring the theme “Before the Town got Big”. This will include a recording of the artists personal stories and memories of their life in Port Hedland and beyond, back in the days when life was a bit more simple…
Here are some photo’s of what we got up to this week - the creativity just keeps getting better each time!!
