FAMDA’s second Arty-Farty Trivia Party was held on Saturday 21 May 2011 in the newly painted auditorium of the Foster War Memorial Arts Centre.

The inaugural Arty-Farty Trivia Party was held on Saturday 17 July 2010.
FAMDA’s Arty-Farty Trivia Party proved to be a trivia night with a difference.
Quizmaster, Andrew Oldroyd, really kept the night moving with lots of trivia questions, some related to visual and performing arts, music, stage and screen, plus more general knowledge topics of the history, geography, sport variety.
What made this night special was a Trivia Party with a very social aspect to it, lots of other games and prizes to be won plus some FAMDA “stars”, John Laurie and Josh Gardiner providing musical entertainment.
Leongatha Lyric Theatre and Wonthaggi Theatrical Group were well represented on the occasion.
Several local artists generously donated works to be sold via a silent auction.
There were drawings, paintings, photography, sculpture and woodwork by such noted
South Gippsland artists as Marilyn Ardley, Ann Parry, Jason Pell (South Coast Joinery),
Elizabeth Richardson, Anne Roussac–Hoyne and Kerry Spokes.
The winning table was made up of Barbara Partridge, Arie Bos, Fleur & Graeme Wheeler, Llew, Jane & Tom Vale, Bev and Don Nicoll.
Congratulations to all who helped make the night such a huge success.

I am interested in the works of Ann Parry. Could you tell me if she is contributing to any upcoming exhibitions either in Melbourne or elsewhere please?
Thanks,
