Kiss My Arts

During the month of May, MS Australia ran a fundraising program called Kiss Goodbye to MS. Two TAFE photography teachers, Clare Weeks and James Murphy, participated in the event by collaborating on an image each day of the month and posting these images to the 'Kiss Goodbye' Facebook page. Each image represented one letter of the fundraiser title KISS GOODBYE TO MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS X

The team were called Kiss My Arts and during the month of May they also coordinated an exhibition of the same name. Many TAFE teachers, students and ex-students came together to exhibit artworks at the exhibition and donate a percentage of the sale price of their artwork to MS Australia. The proceeds of the month long fundraiser and the exhibition amounted to over $2,500.00

Well down to all the participants for an outstanding fundraiser.

This years Kodak Salon at the Centre for Contemporary Photography in Melbourne drew a record number of entries including two of the teaching staff and one of our graduating third year students. Clare Weeks and James Murphy both from the teaching staff and Thomas Hadland each represented Hunter St Fine Arts boldly and well.
