Fourteenth Edition
WOMEN'S EXPO: A PHOTOGRAPHIC REPORT
Women’s Expo was a new feature of this year's ‘Women in Conversation’ in addition to our annual art exhibition during Queensland Women’s Week.

The Expo, held on 9 March 2024 at Robina Auditorium and Gallery, displayed local creative talents.

The ‘Free-Style’ Exhibit at the Robina Community Gallery, which brought together emerging and established artists, attracted crowds during the exhibition period.

This project once again proves the position GCMAGIC as a pioneer community arts organisation.    
The feedback from the participants and attendees on social media and through the survey system echoed the great successes of this innovative community project. Below are some of the feedback on social media.
EXCITING NEW PROJECTS
Our team is planning a series of weekly arts and creative workshops commencing on 19 June at our new Creative Space in Ashmore.

There is no limitation for the form of art activities. These include dance, music, craft, and visual arts.

Creative talents
This is a great opportunity for you to share and make income from your talents.

Community of artists
This is an opportunity to develop your skills in art and craft by learning new techniques or styles for a minimum fee. Materials are provided.

For any inquiries about conducting any workshop and be involved with this program, please send your interest by mid-May to info@gcmagic.org.au.
