Alysha Sparks Pop-Up and Mid North Pre-Loved Market this weekend
Jamestown will be popping with colour this weekend, as well-known local artist, Alysha Sparks, hosts a pop-up event to celebrate the launch of her stunning 2025 calendar – a collection of landscapes and floral artworks to brighten every month.
Coinciding with Mid North Pre-Loved Market on Sunday at Jamestown Memorial Hall, it’ll be a great opportunity to get a start on your Christmas buying and to support business and families in a farming area experiencing its worst drought season on record.
Alysha, a Jamestown local through and through, has combined her love for art with her passion for the region, creating bright, impressionist landscapes and florals, showcasing the big skies, vivid vineyards, barren Summer hills and bright blooms of the Mid North. Wife of the local Stock Agent, daughter of a Jamestown farming family, and Mum to two busy boys Bodhi and Fletcher and little Margot whose not yet two and already experimenting with watercolours, Alysha says while art isn’t quite as prevalent in small country towns, showcasing the region through art, in a place where no one else is, is rewarding. “And if you’re passionate about something you can make it work anywhere.”
As well as the new calendar, which is available in a standard A4 size, A3 and an A3 Family Planner with enough room for six family members to track their movements, Alysha’s art can be purchased on tote bags and key rings, wall hangings, linen tablecloths, greeting cards, skateboard deck originals, puzzles and limited-edition T-Shirts.
The pop-up event , in the old Gibbs Mitsubishi Showroom, will run from Friday through to Sunday, and smoothies, juices and delicious brunch/lunch options will be available from the fresh new mobile catering business, Willow and Co.
If you’re calling in on Sunday, be sure to stroll down to the hall and snap up some pre-loved bargains, which will help freshen up your Spring wardrobe in an affordable and environmentally-friendly way (how can he argue with that!!)
