The Hawkesbury Art Fair is on again. The annual event for displaying and selling art by local artists was opened on Friday night 23rd September and will run until 23rd October. It is professionally curated and superbly hung and as usual it looks fabulous!
The Piggery was represented by works from Kym Morris, Sharron Whittington and Malcolm Robertson.
The Hawkesbury Artists Trail this year was a success, we had a constant flow of visitors on the Saturday and Sunday, lots of conversations with people who were interested in, and enjoyed Art, and a number of sales too! the weather was good, and the Earthcare Centre was also open and selling scones and toasted sandwiches.
We have decided it is time to open the Piggery on a regular basis every first Saturday of the month on a social basis with no particular organised activity, and the Earthcare Centre is also open on Saturdays.
Its been about 2 1/2 years but the Piggery Lane Studios were finally open again for the 2022 'Hawkesbury Artist and Artisans Trail'!
We has some new signs to clearly indicate where we are, the weather was fine both days and we had lots of visitors. The 'Hawkesbury Earthcare Centre' who we share the corner block with, opened at the same time, and sold soup, toasted sandwiches as well as their unique seeds and produce, it was a great collaboration and a really good weekend.
We plan to open next Saturday as well. The 'Secret Garden Spring Fair' is scheduled to be on if the weather is fine... and we may gain some extra visitors from that.
The Good News is that the Hawkesbury Artist’s and Artisans Trail is finally on again this year, after a couple of years cancellations due to Covid 19, and the Piggery Lane Studios will be open on the weekend of 27th and 28th August along with the other participating members of the Trail.
