Bribie is on display at the studio called ‘Welcome to Alice’, which was officially opened on the 29th of September. You might ask yourself, why that name? Well, according to local artist Sabine Von Graz before she and her family settled on Bribie Island, they embarked on a fifteen month trip around Australia.
On the way, they passed through Alice Springs, and intrigued by the place Sabine thought if she ever had a studio she would call it ‘Welcome to Alice’. Currently the studio displays artwork like contemporary paintings, pottery and handprinted clothing all created by myself, however, there is a bigger picture to be developed. “My vision for the studio is to be an experimental space, where I can welcome visitors and ‘like-minded creative individuals’ to talk about and work on their current project.
And there are plans for the future like movie nights, joint exhibitions and art classes just to mention a few,” said Sabine. The studio is open for visitors and artists to drop in on a Tuesday between 11 am – 2 pm, and usually one Saturday or Sunday a month. In the upcoming months, it will be open Sunday the 14th of October and Sunday the 25th of November.
“For the next few weeks, I will have some of my Bribie paintings on display at the studio. If you are in the area on those days, make sure you drop in, say hello and relax with a cup of coffee!” she said. Shed 1 / 13 Industry drive Caboolture.
