Visitors to the Mannum Teddy Bears Picnic on Wednesday 9 October were delightfuly surprised when they went down to the river that day. On the grassy slopes of the river bank was a free pop-up portrature workshop.
Local artist Stephen Oatway assisted participants aged 10 and over to paint their own acrylic ‘selfie’.
The workshop ‘This is Me’ was an initiative of Mid-Murray Council and Country Arts SA.
This pop-up workshop is one of several planned for the coming year at various community events throughout the council district.
Country Arts SA pays respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognises their continuing connection and spiritual relationship to these lands, waters and skies.
