| We took the opportunity to collect donations for the fire appeal - the response was excellent - thank you to everyone who donated. |
Studio ARTES' exhibition and pop-up shop was a great addition to the show, both for the wonderful artworks and the warmth they brought. The artists engaged visitors, achieving excellent sales from the pop-up shop, visitors donated generously to the Studio's fire recovery appeal, and they distributed lots of information about Studio ARTES.
They did well financially both from sales and from the donations collected for the fire appeal. It was a good opportunity for them to stage a community event very soon after the fire, and while some of the works that were chosen for the show were destroyed, Lise Anderson (Gallery Manager) and the artists still curated a very appealing collection. Show visitors were captivated by the resilience and maturity of the artists, following such a dramatic event as the fire was, and there were lots of enquiries about the programs and opportunities the Studio provides.

| Adam Mandarano attended the show each day, demonstrating his weaving skills, and encouraging visitors to have a turn on the portable loom. Adam's woven infinity scarves sold out. |
 |
| Emily Crockford and Lisa Scott both had art works on display, and took turns working in the pop-up shop |
 |
| Emily's soft sculpted koalas were popular. |
 |
| Annette Gaulston's mermaid was the first item sold - about one minute after sales opened! |
