Glebe Art Show Program
Friday 16 October, 6.00pm to 8.00pm
Sip and Seek
Part happy hour, part gallery treasure hunt. You will arrive to a glass of wine and some nibbles, then take on a card full of playful challenges that get you seeing the art in a way you never usually would. Hunt for hidden details, spot the connections between pieces, crack a puzzle built from the artwork titles, and back your eye against everyone else's. It is all about slowing down, looking closer, and having a laugh while you do it. We regroup a few times through the evening to compare answers and meet new faces, so it is as much a social night as a game. Sharpest eyes win art vouchers on the night, your chance to pick up a piece you love at a genuine bargain and hand a local artist a guaranteed sale.
No art knowledge needed. Come for the wine, stay for the fun, and leave seeing art a little differently.

Annandale Parkinson’s Choir – The Songlarks
Chrissie Shaw and her Songlarks sing traditional and popular songs. The Choir is supported by the Inner West Council and provides an opportunity for people with Parkinson’s and their partners and carers to meet and sing together in Annandale. While there are a number of Parkinson’s choirs worldwide our local group is led by actor, musician, writer and choir conductor, Chrissie Shaw who brings a wealth of experience and care to the group.
The group combines voice exercises designed to help with breathing, vocal strength and articulation, singing a large eclectic repertoire of songs. An important part of each session is the break, where members chat and share information over a cuppa and biscuits. The fee is low, and anyone is welcome to join.
Friday 23 October, 6.00pm to 8.00pm
Sip and Draw
A social figure drawing session guided by artist instagram.com/emmaferguson.art. There is a draped model, a run of short timed poses, and a few loosening-up exercises that make it easy for absolutely anyone to join in. Bring your own materials if you like, and we will have paper, pencils and charcoal on hand for you to use. Your wine is sorted, so you can turn up fresh, follow Emma's lead, and enjoy the simple fun of putting marks on paper surrounded by wonderful work. We wrap up with a friendly show and tell, with prizes for a couple of standout sketches, awarded as art vouchers that let you take home a piece at a bargain while backing a local artist.
Whether you sketch every day or have not drawn since school, come along and surprise yourself.

The “Triple Threats” - officially known as the Vocal Enrichment Group
Come along to hear the wonderful Vocal Enrichment Group, nicknamed the “Triple Threats” from Glebe Public School, a select group comprised of students who have been through a rigorous audition process. They sing in a variety of musical genres giving them the opportunity to learn the differences between vocal techniques amongst many other aspects of the performing arts, and provide some of their own accompaniment and choreography. For the Glebe Art Show, “Triple Threats” will be performing songs both acapella and accompanied, including White Winter Hymnal, Dreams and Aunty Kath’s Tracks.
Elizabeth Lecoanet is their exuberant director whom some will know from her longstanding work in the community as choir director for Glebe Singers and RPA Hospital and/or from her vocal coaching work given in her Glebe home studio. Liz was the original conductor of Creativity Australia with One Voice Sydney, for which she was awarded ‘Hidden Hero of Sydney’. She is currently co-writing the National Framework for Singing for Health; the beginning of Social Prescription in Australia.
Proudly singing on Gadigal Land of the Eora Nation
