Celebrating creative arts

Art lovers from across Casey gathered for a jam-packed weekend of activities at Hampton Park Uniting Church, as it celebrated its annual Creative Arts Festival from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 March.

The three-day event saw dozens of art pieces on display and for sale, along with a myriad of creative workshops and entertainment.

A smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country kicked off the weekend’s proceedings, which were attended by local MPs Gary Maas and Cassandra Fernando.

Event organiser Lyn McBain said the event, which attracted over 350 people, was a great success.

“It was great! The workshops went really well and we’re already starting to plan for next year,” she said.
