This Award was arranged by Bendigo Bank Caulfield Park and MP David Southwick.  Recipients were chosen by groups that they volunteer for and Rotary Club of Caulfield chose Gillian Schofield, artist as our nominee.

Gillian has always been around if we needed anything done, Photo boards for markets and festivals, anything in the art field, helping with BBQ's and helping out in many different ways.  We congratulate Gillian on receiving the award.

Dance is performance or participatory art expressed through the human body in motion.  This Exhibition celebrates that art and the art which it inspires - music, choreography, designs for costumes and scenery and the depiction of dance and dancers through photography, sculpture, drawing and painting.

On a very windy, stormy day late last year, the fence containing about 300 tiles painted by member of the community, preschools, school, disabled, senior citizens and others was blown down.

On 15th May, Artists, Rotarians and a church member restored the artwork to its previous glory.

Wonderful community art project is underway in Murrumbeena.

Totem poles are now standing in the ground waiting for their "heads" to be added in a few short weeks

Tiles painted by local residents, Scope and Yooralla members, Uniting Church members, Glen Eira Artists Society members and Rotarians were installed to the wall and fence today.

Situated at the Koonang Uniting Church, in Murrumbeena Road, Murrumbeena.   The official opening was on 25th October.

Members of the Glen Eira Artists' Society Inc., are holding their first major Exhibition at Glen Eira Gallery from Thursday Sunday 19th June to 13th July at the Glen Eira Auditorium, Glen Eira Road, Caulfield, cnr Hawthorn Road.

This wonderful Art Garden project was destroyed by the wind late last year.  

Today we managed to put all the tiles of artwork back on the new fence, after it had been painted blue.

 Lots for you to see.

For the last few months we have had a "sausage artist" on duty at our Barbeques, twice a month.

The Barbeques are held at the rear of Woolworths in Glen Huntly Rd, Glen Huntly.  The second and fourth Saturday of the month 9.30am to 1pm.

We have fun, raise money, collect new toothbrushes and paste, used eye glasses and hearing aides all for charity.

We also inform people about Rotary in General and Rotary Caulfield in particular.

After 8 1/2 months of working at least weekly, sometimes more often this Art Project was opened.

There were a lot of people present, invited guests, friends, Artists, Rotarians and many interested in this community.

What started as a small project became a much larger one.  The fence on the back left of the Koonang Uniting Church was beautifully decorated with tiles, all painted by members of the community, residents in nursing homes in the area, schools, Yoralla members, artists, Rotarians, and people who dropped into the Thursday pancake sessions.

Five Totem Poles were erected.  The poles being decorated on the Thursday morning open sessions, and the heads being made by a group of artists who helped Anthony Breslin bring his dream to reality.  These were placed among the community garden plots.  At the base of each totem pole is a seat, also decorated on the Thursday mornings.

The back wall of the Church building and part of its side wall were also decorated by work of the artists and Anthony Breslin.

It was a pleasure to behold.

The completed tiles were all collected and ready to install onto the fence and wall at the back of the Venue.

Such excitement in the air as the artists assembled got ready to add the first tile.

The art work by local groups is just so colourful and wonderful to see.

After a very concentrated effort by those present the tiles made it to their resting place for all to see.

Totem painting day.

Al ot of laughter was heard as the Five totem poles were decorated.
