If we were to create something like this at gate 6, what would we represent to preserve the history?
Sculptures at an abandoned Abbey in England.
This is a fabulous exhibition by two of our professional artists - and it’s open weekdays, as well as SECAN’s usual weekend open times.
In The Netherlands in the 17th Century, a Golden Age was in full swing. The economy of the Dutch Republic, as it was then known, was flourishing as Antwerp and other ports became important hubs for the commercial shipping trade, importing and exporting textiles, spices, and metals, and the cities' p
Our August exhibition is a prelude to what's happening at Bunjil Place in September. SECAN's Face Time however won't be limited to wall art of famous people, like the work you'll see in the Archibald Prize exhibition at Bunjil gallery. Instead, it will be about lots of us in lots of different mediums including 3D work.
Gremlins.... where are the gallery images from last week!!!!
I'll try again.
I posted some of the images of Celebration of Light from our Gate 6 Gallery last week. Now I have a few from the studio, where the feeling of light comes from the canvas itself.

Picking up a special delivery to Gate 6 Gallery + Studio. Big thank you to for loaning her awesome printing press to the space and hubby for getting there.
Serbian artist Endre Penovác (previously) wrangles the bleeds of black ink and watercolor in his shadowy renderings of domestic and wild animals. Sometimes delineating a talon or ear with thin markings, Penovác primarily allows the medium to run across the paper, transforming a housecat or chicken...
Though this happened yesterday, I shall be accepting photo suggestions for the North West part of Cardinia Shire until Thursday 10 February.
But it would be better to send something sooner, so I can fit it more neatly into the design.
The Cannibal Creek Winery and Restaurant mind drawing will be in the Gazette on Wednesday week.
The Brunch On McBride mind Drawing will be in the Gazette this Wednesday.
Today SECAN member Kathleen Kendall hung her first ever solo exhibition at the Cranbourne Library in the Art Space. The artwork will be on show from today 7 December 2021 to 9 January 2022.
This is a free exhibition and she is hoping it will bring joy to fellow cat lovers out there. For those that came to the SECAN open studio during the Winter Arts Festival this is the result of the demonstrations Kathleen was giving throughout the event.
Please go out and see the exhibition and enjoy the library space and the other venues in this complex.

Contemporary Art finds its Home It’s three years since the South Eastern Contemporary Art Network (SECAN) launched a major members’ exhibition and 2018 sees them show their work at their very own art space, Gate 6 Gallery. “We are so excited to have a proper gallery with professional lighting and the proper hanging gear” says Gate 6 Gallery curator Annette Slattery. “It lifts the artworks and makes it so much more enjoyable to look at the art.” Gate 6 Gallery is positioned in picturesque Akoonah Park in Berwick. “It was just a shed when we first moved in and we got together and cleaned it and painted it white” says Slattery. “We had a few shows there when it was still in its ‘shed-state’, then last year Casey Council approached us about refurbishing it.” Founded in February 2013 by Gembrook artist Sue Jarvis, SECAN is group of contemporary artists who come together to discuss their work. Initially representing the shires of Cardinia and Casey, the group has expanded to include many shires south east of Melbourne. Over the five years since its inception the group has supported community art projects throughout the area such as Art in the Garden, Apple Harvest, Art Show Pakenham and Cudgewa Blues. In 2015 the group volunteered to paint an ANZAC themed shipping container for Pakenham Agricultural show and SECAN artists regularly volunteer at Bunjil Place teaching art. SECAN includes many luminary local artists such as Andrea Hopgood, Geoff Sargent and Janine Good. The members of SECAN, between them, cover a wide range of mediums including painting, sculpture, mosaics, textiles, scratchboard, assemblage, collage, digital art, drawing, photography, installation, fibre arts, printmaking and ceramics. This exhibition will be a showcase of some of the artists’ favourite pieces, old and new, demonstrating the variety of themes, mediums and styles encompassed by this diverse and exciting group of contemporary artists.
