Whilst art and artists can encompass a whole range of activities and professions, Ausemade will be talking about and showing the works of artists in the field of painting, sculpture, carving, and similar creative endeavours who we may have met or whose work we have enjoyed. We will have snapshots of creations from artisans that we have enjoyed from a variety of annual and one off events and exhibitions, with images that show the craftmanship of individuals and group endeavours.

Whether it is watching the energetic workmanship of the axe-wielding wood cutter at the Alice Springs Show, the humourous metal sculptural works of the Greenbush Art Group artists working from the Alice Springs Correctional Centre, the knitting, crocheting and weaving skills of numerous artists from aboriginal communities and the wider general population that are showcased in popular annual events such as the Alice Springs Beanie Festival, there will surely be something that will tickle your fancy, elicit a smile and even an occasional wow…
