Art Lease Project – Farewell!

| Nat Rad

A huge thank you to Hon. Alannah MacTiernan and Rebecca Stephens for their support of the Art Lease Project.

The relationship started by a request to supply an work for their reception which ended up photo bombed the opening of the office!

Since 2021, I have had the pleasure of sourcing and installing 41 artworks over 6 collections in their shared office.

Some stats for you:

22 different local artists have supplied artworks

Through sale of artworks $3472 have been paid directly to artists

$868 from the 20% sales commission have supported Albany Roller Derby League and Kinjarling Marsupial Rescue

Our agreement has come to an end and I am very thankful for the opportunity and support provided by all staff.

Very proud of what has been achieved.

Best wishes for the future!

Lets get Visible!

| Nat Rad

So an opportunity came about to design/ make “stuff” to show in the Albany Advertiser window, York Street Albany. Not just any old thing would do because this is for Albany Pride!

With the theme in mind of “Lets get visible”, the venue and drawing on the resources I have, the project started with nothing but eyes and newspaper and somehow quickly developed from there.

Thank you Albany Pride, the Albany Advertiser and the lovely friends that loaned things for me to play with and have fun!!

Karen Mural Project

| Nat Rad

“From early 2022, the concept for a lively urban community arts project developed, with local artists Nat Rad and Renee Tan working with Karen community members to develop an artwork suitable for a mural. It proved to be a successful grassroots project, with Renee and Nat holding workshops for the development of the mural concept, and mural artist, Chad Marwick, translating the design into a painting for the wall, which will soon be launched at 348 Middleton Loop as part of this year’s Art and Craft Trail.” Southerly Magarzine Septmeber 2022

This has been an exciting and rewarding project!

Check out the completed mural in Middleton Loop, featured in the Southern Art & Craft Trail 2022

Thank you
