Fox Arts – art exhibition
On Saturday the 20th of April locals of Fox Glacier township Ellie Dodridge and Yan Qin Yang hosted ‘Fox Arts’ a local arts exhibition in their Community Centre displaying the creative talents of over 20 makers and creators living in Glacier Country. A mixture of items were for sale and items for exhibit. Exhibits included photography, paintings, creative writing, illustrations, and sculpture.
During the evening, we enjoyed the wonderful sounds of 4 super talented musicians Cold Animal, Kirby-Rose Wadsworth, Randy and Stephen Dennehy and our wonderful martial arts extraordinaire Carolina Rossi who did some self-defence training with the community.
Thank you so much to all who attended the exhibition to show their support, those who helped to advertise the event, the Community Centre for hosting, our sponsors Fox Glacier Guiding and last but not least our wonderful creative locals who made the event what it was! Hopefully, Fox Arts will become an annual event year on year.
Thankyou Fox!
Second-hand Sale
On Friday the 26th of April Fox Glacier had a second-hand sale in the old hangar on Cook Flat Road. Multiple local sellers set up shop for the day, with clothes, outdoor gear, logs, homeware, and everything in between.
It was great to get together, to reduce, reuse and recycle our old junk and grab some shiny new junk! There was a clothes swap on the go, where locals donated their old clothes and picked up some new pieces of clothing to mix up their wardrobe.
A big thank you to Kirsty and John Sullivan for letting us use their space for the day, it was the perfect spot for a day of haggling in the sunshine. Thank you to all the sellers, buyers and window shoppers who took part and to the community centre and local businesses for advertising the event.
