THE Loddon Valley Arts Trail is buzzing this weekend and Mitiamo has jumped on board for the celebration.
Jill Ramskill at the Mitiamo Store asked local artist Amy Dzufer, also known as Spoonyjoe, to show her charming small artworks inspired by nature, birds and folk art.
“We thought, let’s have a go,” Jill says. “We’ve got the old horse and cart, which we’ll use for kids to have photographs taken, and we’ve also got the old lolly cart where Amy will show her work.
“We’ll take pot luck, if people come, all good, they can have a bite to eat and enjoy the art.”
Arts trail organiser Rosemary Sorensen says this last-minute addition to the program is a wonderful surprise.
“I was really disappointed when Jill rang me a while back to ask why Mitiamo wasn’t on the Trail, and I had to confess I’d sort of run out of puff at Dingee and Calivil.
“Having someone who cares, and who wants to see good things happen, makes all the difference.
“I love the look of Amy’s little artworks, so it’s thanks to the Mitiamo people for joining in.”
Victorian Veterans’ Council member Peter Swandale opened the first trail exhibition in Wedderburn last Sunday featuring art works of veterans.
