Amuri Community Arts Council Amuri Autumn School

At a meeting on the 2nd November 1992,it was moved that five classes with tutors for the
proposed Autumn School in April 1993 would go ahead.
A generous grant from the Southern Regional Arts Council meant expert tuition could be
provided.   Due to its sucess, it was decided to hold the event annually at Hamner Springs.
The cover on the 1993 brochure was the Ferry Bridge, Waiau River and hills at Hamner
Springs. This was replaced in 1994 by the drawing still in use today.
This year the event is back to Hanmer Springs with classes being held at a number of venues.
Our Sponsors have been both generous and understanding with their support thereby enabling us to continue this year with low fees.
Of course, the Amuri Arts Council`s aims still apply; " To bring into the Amuri Area, tutors
expert in their field, and for participants to enjoy a weekend of making and renewing
friendships while increasing their diversity of skills with an understanding of Arts and Crafts
not normally available in the district ".
Hanmer Springs provides a wonderful backdrop to our classes, with plenty of things to do when not in class: Hot pools, spas and massage,fabulous shops and restaurants, walkways and cycle tracks throughput the forest and a great golf course.

On behalf of the Amuri Community Arts Council  "Enjoy a happy weekend "
We look forward to our Hanmer Springs venues providing a great atmosphere for convivial
learning and generating increased involvement in the Hanmer Springs community.

Tutors work will be displayed during April at the Gallery, Hanmer Springs.
