The "Alice in Wonderland" project at West Gippsland Arts Centre has been a success over recent weeks with more than 160 visitors attending over the Anzac Day long weekend.
Sixteen local artists came together to create an installation on site in the theme of "Alice in Wonderland" over a two day period.
Community members were invited to not only to view the work in progress, but also to participate in making the piece. The community helped to decorate elements of "The Mad Tea Party" and make items for the "Queen's garden".
Community members are encouraged to view the end result in the foyer of the West Gippsland Arts Centre over the month of May.
The aims of the project were to ignite imagination and wonder and to bring joy, by creating a sense of community and wellbeing through collaboration. The artists used sustainable or recycled materials where possible. Project director Jo Draisma acknowledged Melissa Forlano and the West Gippsland Arts Centre for their support and the sponsorship of Baw Baw Arts Alliance. The project also received many donated goods from friends and family of the artists and "Vintage Vibes" in Warragul.
The exhibition will remain on display until June 2 in the foyer of the West Gippsland Arts Centre from 10am to 4pm weekdays.
Entry is free.
