NMIT visual arts students have an exhibition called Common Place at the Access Gallery at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre. The students interpret the historical and contemporary identity of Bundoora Homestead in a variety of media, using architecture and landscape as primary sources.
Students from courses across the Visual Arts Department travelled to the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre in March this year to spend the day drawing, painting and photographing the site. The works were further developed in a variety of media back in the studio.
A selection of the final images will be shown in an exhibition on site at the Bundoora Homestead Access Gallery from the 2nd to 19th June. The exhibition aims to examine the layered histories of identity and place and provides an opportunity for students to exhibit their work within the community.
All are welcome to attend the opening of the exhibition on Saturday 4th June at 2:00pm.
Where: Bundoora Homestead Art Centre
7-27 Snake Gully Drive, Bundoora
Phone: (03) 9496 1060
Opening Hours:
Wednesday-Friday 11am-4pm
Saturday-Sunday 12noon-5pm

Directed by Lisa Dempster, the Emerging Writers’ Festival is about to go off with style. Running from the 26th of May to the 5th of June, it is run by a collective of professionals within the writing, publishing industries whom hold local and national networks that fulfill the festival’s needs: to educate burgeoning writers about the industry, and promote emerging authors.
With workshops such the Business of Being a Writer that educates individuals about the filing, taxing, and our legalities of the industries; and free plays, and panels, such as the Get Into Genre ones. These Get Into Genre panels range from young adult, to crime fic, enlightening people to the aspects of each genre and how to create a convincing story within that genre.
With many other networking, and helpful sessions, be sure to check our the Event Schedule and sign up!

Today’s post is to announce a post by our resident cook, Renee, on her blog Create Me. This week she created a wonderful Pumpkin and Feta Arancini Balls. I wouldn’t mind some of those thanks!
Be sure to check her Facebook page and her twitter!
Create Me is a blog moderated by Renee, one of our Writing & Publishing students, and it is her ‘creative exploits to share [her] love of cooking, arts & crafts’. She even posts recipes accompanied with lovely pictures such as above. Who could say no to a Tiger cake? I know I couldn’t. XD
Considering that we’re normal individuals obsessed with food, it’s no wonder we’re excited about this. Despite only having three recipes posted, we’re looking forward to more posts by Renee whom writes with a captivating wit. Be sure to check it out!

Memories of our first summer at NMIT’s Fairfield campus. Celebrating the department’s purchase of the ZOOM! (Check out the podcasts we’ve recorded with it on the Publishing Lab blog).

So, we have all gotten through the dreaded Monday, struggled through Tuesday and finally, finally made it to Wednesday, other wise known as Hump Day. The glorious day where it’s nearly the weekend, the day to start staring out the window during class and fantasise about what you’re going to do for this weekend.
Well, I am hoping these posts will eliminate the thought process and give you cool places to visit each weekend!
My bar recommendation for this weekend to come is The Croft Institute at 21 Croft Alley Melbourne.
Welcome to Notes, Pens, Brushes; a community blog by arts students and anyone interested in the arts.
I’m Celeste Kellie and am currently undertaking a Bachelor of Writing and Publishing at NMIT. A well travelled ‘foodie’, I’ll be heading out each week and finding a cheap eat (under $10) somewhere around Melbourne and blogging about it here on our site.
Know just the place I should go? Message me…the weirder and wacker the suggestion the better…Let’s give Bear Grylls a run for his money!

This blog is apart of a group project for Uni. It is being run by Celeste, Dom, Mikki, Talana, Terry, Tamsyn and Av. Being creative arty farty students we decided to create a tumblr so all the students from NMIT could publish their work. From photographs to lyrics to novellas, this is a place to publish your very own pieces of art work. Enjoy our site as it flourishes at the same time as your work. Feel free to post whatever you would like including inspirations, advertising gigs or yourself as an artist enjoy!
