WINTER in Geelong is about to get slightly warmer as Geelong Illustrators launch its Keepin’ it Cosy exhibition on August 2.<\/p>\n
The exhibition is all about celebrating things that are warm, soft and comforting, with all artwork surrounding the theme.<\/p>\n
Geelong Illustrators volunteer manager Clare Holder said the idea for the exhibition came from the group itself.<\/p>\n
“The volunteers in the studio actually had a bit of a brainstorm of what exhibition to put together; it was a combined effort.”<\/p>\n
Keepin’ it Cosy is also the first time the group’s volunteers have helped to curate an exhibition.<\/p>\n
“In the past, I’ve done the majority of the stuff, organising and curating and planning.<\/p>\n
“I’ve put it in the hand of a couple of volunteers at the studio, to give them a bit more of an opportunity to organise and plan things.”<\/p>\n
Curators for the exhibition will include Peapod Studios’ Aiden, Dejah from Designed by Dee Dee and Lyd from Semjay Art.<\/p>\n
Pieces within the exhibition will be made up from a range of mediums including, digital, acrylic, watercolour and more.<\/p>\n
Ms Holder said she is hoping people who head along can just enjoy the art itself because as artists, that’s what makes them feel good.<\/p>\n
“You can look at the emotion, especially when it’s something cosy and comforting. Hopefully it inspires some sort of cosy emotion in them.”<\/p>\n
Keepin’ it Cosy will run until September 20 at 105 Moorabool Street, Geelong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
