What's cool what's hot
Welcome to a bright new space called the Chilli Rooms where you can meet local, interstate and international guest speakers in residence.
The Chilli Rooms provide an environment to enjoy a few drinks and the zing of good conversation.
Shampooing the Doggy? The Chilli Rooms definition of the generous raconteur, a guest speaker at The Chilli Rooms.
The inaugural Doggy Shampooer at the launch in February 2010 was one of today's great Australian actors, William Zappa, who opened the place by cutting the ribbon on a neat little group exhibition of nine artists in painting, drawing, objects and photography, and then performed a reading from Wayne Ashton's new novel Equator.
The event was a well-attended hoot.
Guest speakers (Doggy Shampooers) during 2010/11 include:
Have a look at our launch brochure for the School Holiday Series #4 - Pinski's Travelling Dive Troupe. This exhibition will be at The Chilli Rooms in Stanmore, Sydney, on September 16, 2011, and at the Gadfly Gallery in Dalkeith, Perth, on November 17, 2011.
Have a look at our launch brochure for the School Series #3 in February 2011.
Have a look at our launch brochure for the School Holiday Series #2 on November 27, 2010.
Alternatively, have a look at who was seen at the launch parties for School Holiday Series #2 and #3.
Have a look at our brochure for Birdsong Hunting & School Holidays presented by Jane Ulman in September 2010.
Have a look at the brochure for our launch event in February 2010, a neat little show of nine artists.
Have a look at the brochure for our May 2010 event ... a hoot and a hit. Harley Lacy, with a team of scientists, regenerates the landscape when the miners are done.
Harley says: "We are fortunate and privileged to have clients who follow through with our ideas for regeneration. They do all the physical work needed for restoration of the mine site."
Harley's slideshow that night at The Chilli Rooms gobsmacked the audience with before and after shots of Australia's great wealth generators - gigantic holes in the ground and mining sites. The aerial shots of operating mines would have blown away 20th century global painting giant Francis Bacon. They did blow away the two hot landscape artists showing their work that night - Peter Griffen and Denis Clarke.
What's cool what's hot ... the new Chilli Rooms guest: she offers hot stuff and cool ways. ABC broadcaster and producer Jane Ulman will present a multimedia account of two passions: her programs on unofficial poet laureate Les Murray and the skill, art and craft needed to record birds, including the lyrebird, a flying animal that can voice-copy everything including a lawnmower starting up.
Details of Jane's gig is by e-invitation, so tell us at the Contacts page if you'd like to have a fun night with the zing of good conversation.
And welcome to the smallest festival in the world!
