THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Established as an independent event in 1953, the Herald Outdoor Art Show in the Treasury Gardens was as much a part of the annual Moomba festival as the water skiing. Nestled amongst the gigantic Morton Bay Fig trees, hundreds of paintings from local artists adorned the pathways up and down the gardens with a kaleidoscope of colour and untapped creativity. From before I could walk, my Mother would take me to the Art Show every year and now with over 50 years of attendance, I’m still as eager as ever and it’s definitely a highlight of the year. Following the demise of the Herald Outdoor Art Show in 1999, the Herald Sun became the major sponsor of the Camberwell Art Show and the tradition of a platform for local artists to exhibit and sell their works of art continued. Unfortunately, this year’s Camberwell Art Show, held at Swinbourne University in Hawthorn, has now come and gone but did not disappoint and has returned to its wonderful pre-COVID best. Typically held in June – July each year, the art show makes for a most enjoyable day out and you can take a break from the viewing to watch one of the guest artists in action. Photos never do the paintings justice, but there was a painting there of Mailing Road.
IT’S A CREDIT TO US ALL
On behalf of myself and BASScare, I would like to sincerely thank everyone that was involved in assisting with the Accreditation Day last Friday. Though we need to wait for the final report to be issued, you can be pleased to know that we met all standards and are meeting the needs of Retirement Living. There will be a few minor recommendations to act upon, one being the addition of a mobile phone contact for residents (those that have one) added to the Emergency Occupancy List held in the Fire Panel for first responders to use. If you definitely do not want your mobile contact number added to the Emergency List, please let me know in writing.
