Each year TAFE NSW - North Coast Institute, Great Lakes Campus proudly showcases artwork produced by their Fine Arts students, finishing with the ‘Grand finale’ art exhibition which this year is titled “Blunt Pencils”. “Blunt Pencils” will be presented by students graduating from the Diploma in Fine Art.

74 year old Edna Moseley, an exhibiting student who enrolled after a heart attack at 70 years said, “It has been an exciting and educational journey, it has opened up a new road to travel, meeting new friends and facing new experiences. Age is no barrier for learning and challenges.”

Staff and students invite the general public to join them from 6pm on Friday 1st December when “Blunt Pencils” will be officially opened. Talented local blues and instrumental band “Axis of Evil” will entertain guests during the course of the evening and light refreshments will be served.
