The new member\u2019s exhibition at Blue Knob Hall Gallery is titled \u2018A Place of Dreams\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many would say that coming to live in this area has fulfilled a dream they had of a different kind of life, to be drawn to this landscape or to a life lived differently. When we are free to follow our dreams they can lead us into a creative life or a life filled with all that has meaning for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A place of dreams can be anything from the place you\u2019ve always dreamed of having; to the place you like to spend dreaming or the dreams themselves. There are the dreams we can follow and there are dreams that come in the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spend a big part of our lives sleeping and we all have stories that come from the dreams that we experience. Not all dreams come true and the bogeyman under the bed has its own story to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This theme has opened many doors for the artists and a range of painting, sculpture and installation is being exhibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seniors \u201cSnap My Community\u201cPhotographic Exhibition<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior\u2019s \u201cSnap My Community\u201cis an initiative of Nimbin Aged Care and Respite Services (NACRS), originally for Senior\u2019s Week celebrations in March 2017. This was made possible with generous volunteer time and a small grant from the Department of Family and Community Services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this photo competition, seniors (50+) were asked to capture in a snap-shot what they particularly value in their local community and describe this in their own words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all 28 entries, 12 were selected by a panel of independent judges (Paul Tait, Claire L\u2019Arrivee and Teena Kavasilas), particularly focussing on the community aspect of the image.  These 12 are seen in the larger frames and will create the main content for a \u2018NACRS Calendar\u2019 for 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are delighted that Blue Knob Hall Gallery are exhibiting the entire collection of 28 entries within \u2018A Place of Dreams\u2019.  We hope you enjoy the unique and individual perspectives offered in each of these images combined with the personal anecdotes that bring an added dimension to the experience of viewing each snap-shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
