Heavy rain forces DAB to change opening date
Opening Exhibition
Due to the heavy rainfall, DAB has decided to postpone the opening of its "Small is Beautiful" Exhibition from this Friday 29 April to Friday 6 May at 6:00pm.
The arts group is encouraging you to attend and enjoy the outstanding and varied artworks created by our talented members.
Come along, and bring your family and friends (and "show off" your own work).
There will be wine and soft drinks available for purchase. Please bring a "small" plate to share.
“Small Is Beautiful: A Study of Economics As If People mattered”, is the title of a book written by British economist EF Schumacher, who argued that while ‘capitalism’ may bring higher living standards it may come at the cost of declining life quality, and that ‘bigness’ (eg. cities, industry) leads to a depletion of natural resources.
“Artists are encouraged to think about different aspects of the ‘small is beautiful’ theme, and include an artist's statement.
“There is the opportunity to make social commentary, but also thinking that small allows you to focus, a chance to look at the detail,” a DAB committee member explained.
