Ararat Rural City Council is encouraging residents and art enthusiasts to attend the last session in the current series of life drawing events at Ararat Gallery TAMA, set for Thursday, 16 October from 5.45pm to 8pm.

This event is the final of a highly popular series of six that have run throughout 2025.

Council Mayor Jo Armstrong said, “Our local arts spaces bring people together in such an authentic way. Bev’s classes have sparked creativity and conversation in our community, and the feedback has been truly positive. These classes are about seeing differently, observing deeply, and finding your own unique way of capturing the human form. We’re thrilled to have the wonderful Bev Isaac on board for these classes this year.”
