14. Movies in the Park - Tin Can Bay
WHAT: Gympie Regional Council s Movies in the Park is coming to Tin Can Bay these school holidays, providing a fun night out for the whole family. The movie on the big screen will be the action-adventure comedy Sonic the Hedgehog, starring Ben Schwartz, Jim Carrey and James Marsden.
These quirky artworks made from discarded materials are themed around chambers hidden behind closed doors and when the doors are opened by the viewer, the mysterious and complicated story is revealed. A Gympie Regional Council spokesperson said the works were created using a combination of wood, paper and metal along with objects like locks, watches, jewellery, stamps, furniture and Mr Munsie s signature intricately rolled scrolls. One of Mr Munsie’s works featuring birds is now available to view at the Gympie Regional Art Gallery. While each piece stands alone, they all come together to form a large installation with its own overarching purpose and story.
FROM the Gympie Regional Gallery straight to Manhattan, Gympie artist Danny Bickmore is reaching new heights as one of several artists chosen worldwide to exhibit in the New York Outsider Art Fair.
