The McCormick Art Group
Every Tuesday local artists come together at the centre to paint or draw in their chosen mediums, share ideas, teach and learn from each other, while enjoying the fellowship of the group.
The group is open to everyone regardless of gender, age or artisitic ability, and meets between 10am and 4 pm.
Mosaic Group
Resulting from the very successful Entrance Wall Mosaic Art Project some community members enjoyed mosaic so much they wished to continue, so a space was provided at the McCormick Centre
where the tools used for the previous project are housed and available for local community use.
If you would like to learn how to create a mosaic piece, complete a mosaic project, join the art group contact the McCormick Centre on 8586 4777.
