New Art Master Appointed at FADAS

Get on board or get out of the way! A new breath of fresh air has swept into the Feilding Art Centre in the person of Beverly Waugh, newly appointed Art Centre Manager. Bev, a local Feilding singer, former ceramic artist and art teacher, who appreciates all kinds of art, is so full of enthusiasm it’s really infectious. With a visual arts background through uni and in her early working life as a potter and sculptor, Bev understands the need for quality exhibitions and resultant sales. As a singer she is a member of the Choral Society and The Camerata Singers and as a visual artist she does find the time to print small editions of greeting cards and the like.

Mrs. Waugh is excited about taking on the job of boosting the arts for the Feilding and Districts Art Society (FADAS). As a former president of that organisation who lobbied on behalf of Manawatu District Council support for the Centre, I am well aware of the potential for shortfall in funding and in numbers. But I am sure Bev will prevail if all of us who care about the arts in the Manawatu rally behind her. Come on give her a call 06 323 2323, Tues – Sun. Volunteer your time, your expertise and your ideas. It couldn’t hurt!
