Hi There!!

My name in Nicole. I am this year’s volunteer coordinator for SWELL Sculpture Festival which will be running from 11 – 20 September 2020.

We are now calling out for volunteers to help us make SWELL 2020 the memorable experience it is known to be.  If you are 16 or over, we would like to invite to come and join the volunteering action with us at SWELL 2020!!  Are you in?!

SWELL is always a great time and this year we have an incredible line up in store.  Not only do we have 54 sculptures programmed in the main exhibition we also have exciting new exhibits in Mudgereeba and Chevron Island. 

The SWELL Smalls Gallery is back at Dust Temple for 2020 with a very artistic programming over 16 evenings.

Being a volunteer at SWELL gives one a great opportunity to connect with like minded individuals, meet artists and get up close to the running of the event.

We have two information sessions coming up, which will be a perfect opportunity for you to get to know the program for 2020 and learn about some of the works that will be a part of the exhibition.  Details as follows:

SESSION ONE

Dental Health Week

How much sugar is hiding in your trolley?

Being healthy is something that most of us aim for.

Sugar is everywhere in supermarket staples, even some that might appear to be healthy on the surface, and so this Dental Health Week (3 - 9 August dentalhealthweek.com.au), we want you to become more “sugar savvy”. Figures show that the average Australian is consuming 14 teaspoons of sugar a day, a whole lot more than the maximum six teaspoons a day recommended by the World Health Organisation. Beyond that, we want to show how easy it is to keep your teeth and gums healthy by following a few simple tips: Brushing, Flossing, eat and drink well and say ‘Hello!’ to your dentist.
