(f)route CART maquette - Josephine Jakobi |
Generosity
and good times are sure to abound at this weekend’s (f)route breakfast to be
held on Sunday the 19th February at The Stables Gallery (58 Service
Street, Bairnsdale) as part of their monthly Artisans Bazaar.
These
fabulously funky morning gatherings are a key part of the East Gippsland-wide,
fruit-based community arts project known as (f)route. Come and join the conversation about art and
fruit, bottling and growing. Anyone can join us at the table and enjoy locally
made muesli - generously supplied by East Gippsland Eats - and locally grown
and bottled fruit - all for just $5, (with essential breakfast extras such as
coffee and cake available at The Stables cafe.)
All
of this will be taking place in the 'Urban Orchard', a pop-up installation that
will temporarily transform The Stables courtyard - thanks to the support and
assistance of local businesses like Dahlsens, Goodmans Seeds, The Lime Lily and
Van Berkel florists.
It
is also the place to see the rolling out of the first of our (f)route CARTs - another major part of the project. CARTs that are being created, range from the completely conceptual artwork, to a more
functional and useful fruit cart. And
there's a couple ready to roll.
Come
down and spend a lazy Sunday morning in the midst of the slow (f)routey food
movement, bring some fruity recipes (we're making a book!) and share your
fruity knowledge with the (f)route team, check out the Artisans Bazaar and mini
{Makery} inside, enjoy a great Stables coffee and be part of a movement, destined
to become an essential part of East Gippsland’s social, artistic and tourism
future.
