Myella Art Retreat with Adele Outteridge - CQ Shopfront Artisan in Residence

Relax, unwind and get creative!

The weekend will kick off at 9am on the Saturday morning. We will be walking the land and gathering items to draw and paint. We shall divide our time between exploring the surrounding environments, photographing, sketching, taking notes, collecting (eg rocks, fossils, leaves, flowers, feathers, bits of wood) and working in the ‘studio’ writing, developing images from preliminary sketches with any media including collage, reviewing photos, identifying insects and any other critters seen.  We shall gather all our drawings, notes etc and bind a book or books (depending on time) using one or two possible structures, a Coptic bound journal and/or a sculptural concertina book.

PLEASE NOTE THAT BOOKINGS ARE LIMITED AND OPEN ONLY TO RESIDENTS OF BANANA SHIRE UPON OPENING OF BOOKINGS UNTIL FRIDAY 19TH FEBRUARY, 5PM. IF THERE ARE SPACES AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME, IT WILL BE OPENED UP FOR OUT OF REGION PEOPLE TO ATTEND AND PROMOTED THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS.

You will be staying in a double ensuite room. If you are travelling with a friend you might like to request one of the two bedroom spaces (depending on availability).  We will all be treated to a spectacular sunset drive on the Saturday evening with our hosts at Myella. 

You can choose to arrive on Friday night for a two-night stay or Saturday morning for a one-night stay. Meals are included. Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements.

Please check Myella Farm Stay's website Terms and Conditions for their COVID Safe protocols for staying at their venue. https://myella.weebly.com/terms--conditions.html 

This is part of the CQ Shopfront Project delivered by The Ideas Distilery. The CQ Shopfront Artisan in Residence program in the Banana Shire has been funded by Arts Queensland, the Regional Arts Fund, Flying Arts Alliance, Banana Shire Council and their RADF Program, CQ RASN and CQ University. We also thank Banana Shire Regional Art Gallery and Artisan for their support of this program.  With their support we are able to offer this heavily subsidised weekend art retreat.
