SATURDAY 12 & SUNDAY 13 SEPTEMBER
FRIDAY 18 SEPTEMBER
Ten local artists have responded to a challenging brief by Cairns
Regional Council Water and Waste: take disused and discarded
objects and materials, and give them new meaning and new value
as sculptural works of art.
This accomplished jazz singer, actress, author and TV
celebrity brings her sassy brand of jazz to Tanks for a night
of sheer entertainment.
Coinciding with the 2015 Queensland
Waste Management Conference at
Tanks, this exhibition shows the talent
of local sculptors and challenges the
notion of waste.
Exhibiting artists include Lynette
Griffiths, Daniel Wallwork, Ian
Tunbridge, Pam Kusabs & Marcia Bird,
Hayley Gillespie, Caroline Mudge,
Ruby Bou, Lana McLean, Leonie Besley,
and Russell Geisel.
By the time Monica Trapaga became
a loveable face on ABC TV’s Play
School, she was already a veteran of
the glamorous world of jazz, cabaret
and swing. Having teamed up with
her brother, Ignatius Jones, for the
1940s-inspired show ‘Pardon Me Boys’,
Monica has shown that she knows all
about entertaining the grown-ups too!
