Monte Lupo Exhibition "MELODIC" Opens on Mount Tambourine


The colour starts at the door.
Sunday 17th August saw the opening of a new exhibition at one of the most original and unique galleries on Mount Tambourine.  The Marks and Gardner Gallery at Secret Garden is hosting the latest exhibition by Monte Lupo.

The exhibition called Melodic, is a celebration of colour and music.


Monte Lupo is a cooperative organised by the Multicap disability support organisation


Colourful ladies
Tutored by professional sculptors and potters, the artists at Monte Lupo work collaboratively to produce colourful and playful works of art. As soon as you arrive you are greeted by sculptures that set the tone for your visit to the gallery.

Marks and Gardner is unique. It continues to display quality works of art and jewellery, resisting the trend towards mass produced pieces.

Students with learning difficulties who are identified at school with artistic tendencies are offered the opportunity to train and work at the Monte Lupo workshop. Training is provided in ceramics, pottery and screen printing.

Fun and colourful sculptures
Monte Lupo currently has thirty workers with disabilities aged from eighteen to fifty five
Musical ladies of Monte Lupo
creating these works of art at their facility at Eight Mile Plains in Brisbane.

The Secret Garden has a book shop, jewellery for sale and a cafe to satisfy a range of desires.

Running from 17th August to 14th September 2014, the Monte Lupo Exhibition at Marks and Gardner is a great way to spend an afternoon at Mount Tambourine.

Monte Lupo Admirers
Cheers
