Money raised for Rough Edges


Volunteer organisers - Tamara, Grace and me at the opening

We sold 9 pieces through the show and raffled one at the closing. All the artists have been paid and buyers have taken their artwork.

Everyone who worked on organising the show (Grace, Tamara, Kristy amd me) did so as a volunteer. From commissions and the raffle we raised about $340 in total of which $110 was spent on expenses(mostly catering for the opening and closing, and a bit for supplementary lighting)

$230 has been given to Rough Edges to support its services. It has been set aside for materials for the art table. Thanks to Grace for managing the books and money

Closing Party and Fundraiser

Last night we had a party for the closing of the Rough Art Show, and to raise a few dollars to help support Rough Edges. We held a raffle after some poetry and music, and made a couple more sales. We'll announce how much we made for Rough Edges in the next few days

Thanks to everyone who performed, Sabrina Showell and Torquemada Poet for their poetry, Andy Biggs, Mariana, and Donna Cain sang accompanied by Stephen Corry's clarinet and Torq on guitar. Apologies to anyone I've forgotten to list.

Thanks also to everyone who helped last night and through the show, especially Grace Woods and Tamara Muzikants for their great work finding and organising the artists, and generally organising the exhibition.
Thanks also to Kristy for her work on the show, and last night, to Stephen Corry for wiring up the place and assisting with hanging, to Sabrina for lending her PA, to Skater Dave for helping put together the food, and to Penny, Wayne and the Rough Edges community

A portrait of Grace Woods volunteering at Rough Edges. Grace got me involved in Rough Edges and this exhibition. She also made the connections that led to me painting the Newtown Last Supper at Newtown Mission, as well as giving me some great ideas for elements of the composition - "I have a Dream" - the view out the window. Thanks Grace, you inspire me

We must stay alive
We have to get through this
Now you are so close to me
Your molecules have freed me
We share them in the invisible plane
Technology brings us back
Together again and again
You run in the night
The air is pure and bright
The moon and stars
Are reflected in your eyes
I cannot believe you are mine
Take a trip and write love in the sky
Wrap it around the bridge
Like you wrap around me with your thighs

We are just molecules
Flying the Earth
With alien dna
Feeding our thirst
We enjoy this world
Washing our brains
Like our curls
Energy through both of us
Finding ourselves
Finding my energy in you
No outlines just hues

And the beating of drums
Like my heArt it comes
Alive again
Today is the next day
Of my heart will say
Yes time is no time delay

Know my molecules and
All my truths

Free are we knowing
We belong in the ocean
We are the ocean of energy
Ignorance is no longer
Because we know
What I am
People of love we are
People of love
Stay in love and I will be free
