Fine age for art

Greater Dandenong’s older creatives are showing off their skills through an annual exhibition.
The Dandenong University of the Third Age (U3A) will hold its art and craft show at Menzies Hall in Dandenong North on Monday 18 September from 10am to 4pm.
Members created the works on show at U3A classes over the past year.
The display will include photography, paintings, drawings, knitting and much more.
President Jim Archibald said the event was designed to encourage new members.
The group has been around since 1994 and has about 450 members.
The U3A model has members share their knowledge with fellow members on a voluntary basis.
Activities include computer classes, history studies, cooking and gardening, karaoke and more.
Membership is $45 per year.
The Dandenong U3A meets at the Paddy O’Donoghue Centre in Noble Park.
