Chocolate Lane Cafe Art - Merv Beamish, Adam Knapper - now Tim Bowtell

19/6/2017

NEA;s Tim Bowtell is currently exhibiting work at Chocolate Lane

Pamella Francis from Chocolate Lane cafe in the lane near the Bridge in Bridge Street loves art. An active member of the Hay arts community before coming to Benalla, Pamella has created a unique 'chocoholics heaven' in a little lane next to the Commercial Hotel.

Late last year Pamella and NEA's Tim Bowtell developed the concept of a partnership between Choolate Lane and NEA which has resulted in an occasional program of exhibitions featuring NEA artists or artists recommended by NEA members.

Merv Beamish's Pop Up Exhibition commenced the exhibition program in mid December 2016, with Merv's warm, impressionistic oil pastels and acrylics perfect for a cafe environment and adding to the welcoming atmosphere at Chocolate Lane.

To add to the atmosphere during the Wall to Wall Festival, Adam Knapper was suggested to Pamela. Adam, who has strong links to the Molyullah area and NEA through his family, exhibited at Chocolate Lane from March 31st to May 13th.. Adam's engaging collection of quirky, affordable café art clearly drew upon his involvement in the graffiti art movement of the eighties. You can read Adam's bio here.

NEA's Tim Bowtell. is currently exhibiting work at Chocolate Lane. Check out Tim's paintings during Chocolate Lane's winter opening hours - Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday mornings.

NEA's Nicole Murphy a new graduate of Alpine Valley's Leadership Program

13/6/2017

NEA member and oft-times finance whiz Nicole Murphy recently graduated from the Alpine Valley Community Leadership Program. Nicole was nominated for a Hugh Williamson Scholarship by NEA. Valued at $4,330, the Hugh Williamson scholarship supports someone from the region who works or volunteers in the Arts.

Nicole joined twenty other participants meeting fortnightly at different locations across the North East, advancing her knowledge of the region and developing personal leadership skills while networking with a range of regional and state leaders.

Nicole's goals following graduation include 'looking forward to continuing to put myself outside my comfort zone and utilise my newly developed networking skills to help secure financial security for the North East Artisans and seek out grants for community groups that I am involved with"..(AVCLP 2017 Year Book p 19)

Speaking of Community Leadership Programs, NEA has been visited by groups from the Shepparton based Fairley Leadership Program as part of their program of visits within their region. NEA President Tim Schloss has spoken most enthusiastically about his meetings with participants during these visits.
