Quite A Week...Culminating In Our Splendidly Sophisticated Saturdays Launch!

Last week was chaotic and exhausting. There is no way to describe the previous seven days as anything but...

However, the fantastic news is that we have begun a new initiative in the East End Gallery. Splendidly Sophisticated Saturdays are to be a feature on our calendar for the rest of 2025. Think superbly crafted cupcakes by "Beyond Compare" partnered with your choice of teas and plunger coffee. We are offering this opportunity to support another small enterprise, providing a culinary experience on Saturdays to tantalise your taste buds!  

In addition, we are launching the Beverley Artisans Working Party in order to collaborate positively with our Shire. We hope that this cooperation will result in better outcomes for all artisans living and working in Beverley. Our first meeting is on Thursday 3 July. All artists and artisans in Beverley are welcome.

The Gallery continues to be an evolving entity. We have welcomed The Twisted Strand's leather products and found spots to showcase his beautiful wallets, a coin purse and bangles. The promotion of Splendidly Sophisticated Saturdays prompted me to release a coffee table of two to accommodate delicate crockery and delicious morsels. Hence, yet another revamp of the East End Gallery was conducted to enable this goal to be achieved!

Michael has completed his newest piece - "In The Mix", a tribute to the humble hand beater, another labour saving device that changed women's lives in the kitchen. A perfect and extraordinary artpiece by award winning Wheatbelt metal sculptor Michael Sofoulis to hang in your kitchen. 

Well, just don't take my word for the exquisite delights of the East End Gallery. turn your vehicle of choice towards Beverley and take a day trip from the Big Smoke to bathe in our fantastic art space.

And Splendidly Sophisticated Saturdays, being indoors, will continue - rain, hail or shine - for the remainder of the year. With the open fire to warm the cockles of your heart...
