The Silent Era Opening

We had a fantastic time at our opening on Sunday. Thanks for all those who braved the cold wet weather to come along! I was worried the gallery might be a little chilly, but with the amount of people we had made for a cosy and warm atmosphere, so cosy at one point a window was opened!

We would like to give a BIG thank you to all these wonderful people who donated prizes to our raffle Blackbird Corner, Linda Wada, Alisha Hinds, Australia's Silent Film Festival, Hair Freaks and Crooked Crow Couture. We at ARThive are extremely grateful for your generosity. The winners were also extremely grateful and happy also!

Thanks to Amanda Reeves and co for peddling for the duration of ALL the silent films at one point, so all of us could stand back and relax and watch the films! Also Greer again from The Magnificent Revolution for providing us with such fun on the day and for the whole month!

There was a bunch of wonderful art works that sold at the opening alone on Sunday. If you are after something that appeals to your vintage tastes you can find a silent film inspired art piece for you home at our gallery.

The show runs until the 23rd of June 12-4 Wednesday to Saturday so make sure you come in to ride on the pedal powered cinema and take a look at some silent film inspired art!
