A MESSAGE FROM OUR PARTNER Peter Townsend General Manager, Coastline Credit Union At Coastline Credit Union we proudly offer the same range of personal and business banking services and products that any big bank can, with one huge difference, we are customer owned and 100% committed to investing in our community. The Education @ Glasshouse Program shares similar values with Coastline, in that we both exist to support the people who live, work and interact in the communities in which we operate. Coastline sought the opportunity to partner with the Education @ Glasshouse Program following the recent launch of our Coastline Cubs School Visit Program and our Children’s and Youth savings accounts. The partnership presents the opportunity to build positive relationships with our local schools and highlights our commitment to support education outside of the classroom and within the broader community. We understand the importance of giving students access to valuable learning experiences which inspire both creativity and innovation. As Principal Partner we saw an exciting opportunity to play an important role in providing access for students to participate in the unique and creative events hosted within the program which promotes cultural diversity. We have been operating in Port Macquarie since 2001 and relocated to our current site within the Settlement City Shopping Centre in 2016.

Schools that value creativity lead the way in cultivating the well-informed and active citizens our future demands: where individuals are able to generate fresh ideas, communicate effectively, take calculated risks and imaginative leaps, adapt easily to change and work cooperatively. There is potential for creative achievement in many fields of human activity including science, mathematics, technology and the arts.

Reality in Flames explores the different ways in which Australian modernist artists responded creatively to the war, producing work which sought to comprehend cataclysmic events. It also provides a visual history of the period, revealing the war as a transformative force that altered Australia and the world. Many of the works were created through the official war art scheme, where artists were commissioned to record the experience of Australians fighting overseas or of home-front wartime activity – a tradition that began during the First World War and continues today. Artists have always played a crucial role in recording and interpreting the Australian experience of war, and the works in this touring exhibition explore both the dangers soldiers faced abroad and the challenges war brought to the home front and to Australian society itself.

Friday 17 January, 6pm
Clay Intersections presents the work of eight contemporary makers who take a range of innovative approaches to making and working with clay, exploring the different intersections of its sculptural and functional qualities. Highlighting the work of Bridget Bodenham, Cone 11's Colin Hopkins and Ilona Topolcsanyi, Helen Earl, Tania Rollond, Natalie Rosin, Ulrica Trulsson and Kenji Uranishi, the artists in Clay Intersections draw their inspiration from the built or natural environment and how they interact with it – whether in contemplation or in a practical sense – enhancing the way we live. While some have been discovering the versatility of clay, setting new trends and engaging new audiences, others have set out to the learn age-old practices of wheel forming, casting and hand building, spending countless hours developing techniques and mastering skills. Together, these eight artists are part of a new generation of craftspeople and designer-makers who have emerged alongside new and nontraditional market places outside the gallery and retail environment.

A Bundanon Trust touring exhibition Arthur Boyd: Landscape of the Soul is Bundanon Trust’s new three-year nationally touring exhibition exploring a lifetime of landscape paintings by renowned Australian artist Arthur Boyd. Curated by Barry Pearce the exhibition is drawn principally from Bundanon Trust’s own collection of the artist’s work. The exhibition features up to 60 paintings, including a group of masterpieces borrowed from major state art museums, as well as 20 works on paper, letters, photographs and sketchbooks spanning almost half a century and featuring works from his adolescence through to his final years.
Arthur Boyd: Landscape of the Soul focuses on Boyd’s diverse notions of landscape and traces one of the most celebrated careers in the history of Australian art through this lens. Presenting a number of neverbefore-seen works created by Boyd as a teenager, the exhibition offers the first in depth look at the artist’s powerful early grasp of the landscape as a subject. Bookended by Boyd’s youthful paintings of the Mornington Peninsula in the 1930s and the final phase of his career depicting the Shoalhaven area in southern New South Wales in the mid-1970s, Arthur Boyd: Landscape of the Soul considers not only the topographic landscape, but also the landscape Boyd carried within himself.

Glasshouse Port Macquarie presents
ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell created by shake & stir theatre co Animal Farm, one of the most enduring political commentaries returns in a multi-award winning, critically-acclaimed theatre production. George Orwell’s intensely powerful fairy tale allegorizes and satirizes communist governments while illustrating with stunning simplicity how greed and power corrupts with devastating consequences to all who yield. Revolution has taken place at Manor Farm. The pigs have assumed control and all the animals, fueled by enthusiastic camaraderie and guided by a set of self-imposed rules, are promised a better life free from the self-serving greed of humans. However, it is not long until the rules that promised equality and freedom become the shackles that bind the animals once again. Bring your students and introduce them to one of the most controversial and studied political commentaries around live on the Glasshouse stage.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.

The Stencil Art Prize’s global community of finalists collectively push the boundaries of the “stencil definition” each year as they develop new stencil techniques, messages, materials and technology. From photo realist stencils involving dozens of layers – to intricate handcut stencils on delicate paper – the Stencil Art Prize is the authority on all things ‘stencil art’. www.stencilartprize.com Top left: Fantastical Fantails, Flox (NZ) Top right: Astro Skull, REMO (USA) Bottom right: Girl with Marker, Angus Comyns (Australia)

“
An education rich in creative arts maximises opportunities for learners to engage with innovative thinkers and leaders, and to experience the arts both as audience members and as artists. Such an education is vital to students’ success as individuals and as members of society, emphasising not only creativity and imagination, but also the values of cultural understanding and social harmony that the arts can engender.

Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.

SCHOOL VISIT PROGRAM Coastline Cubs School Visit Program helps educate young students on how to best manage their money and to guide them to make sensible and worthwhile financial decisions in future. Finance is non-intuitive and to work towards financial literacy, Coastline believes introducing students to the world of finance will prove to be a beneficial endeavour, providing them with a hands-on practical learning experience on the reality of banking and managing finances. During their visits, students experience transactional based activities such as using a coin counting machine to exchange $5 in coins into a note, which they then keep as part of our Coastline Community Foundation. The students are then engaged in a guided tour where they are shown the BIG safe and can spin money through the note counter and engage in fun money activities. Each student is gifted with a goodie bag and certificate at the conclusion of the excursion. The Coastline Cubs School Visit Program correlates with Outcomes NSW Education Standards Authority Mathematics syllabus and the Early Years Learning Framework.
