Did you notice the yellow footpath stickers along Emu Bay Road during the weeks around the Craft Fair?

Well, you may know by now that this was the ‘Windows on Art Deloraine’ street exhibition, also known as WOAD.

A great relationship between the Arts Deloraine committee, about 30 shop proprietors (donating window space) and almost 40 local artists created this unique exhibition, featuring sculpture, pottery, textile works, installations, drawings, paintings and mosaics.

Quirky match ups between shop windows and artists’ works revealed a still life painting portraying lemons at the veggie shop, a colourful textile coat at the tattoo shop, a happy Tasmanian devil painting at Best’s Butcher and a striking hand-woven garment matching Bendigo Bank’s colours.

Listed as a venue during the Craft Fair, patrons were encouraged along the trail of the street exhibition where they could explore the retail opportunities and artworks, many of which were sold through the exhibition.

One feature of the exhibition was a magnificent huon pine sculpture, Cosmic Vase, exhibited in Seppenfelts by lifelong artist, 95 year old Alan Lane. 

Arts Deloraine are now looking forward to WOAD 22.
