The Princess Theatre in Brisbane Street, Launceston, is a fascinating place and for those interested I'll put some history below. But the real point of this photograph is in the title.
There is a classic little video from the 1960s which shows Launceston to be a bustling little city, full of manufacturing industries, rail services and very busy shopping in the CBD. Just about all those things have now gone (as they have in most regional centres in Australia).
Launceston in the 1960s:

One of the signs of the times, is that the PRINCESS neon sign which lights up from top to bottom letter by letter, is now the last survivor in a city that used to boast many neon signs outside shops. If you come into the CBD these days you are surprised by how dark everything is.
And for someone who loves neon, that is a real pity. But try getting the local council, which is more interested in banning Australia Day for PC reasons, to promote a vibrant city culture is like trying to wake the dead.
According to the Tasmanian Arts Guide, here is an interesting short history of the theatre: "The elegant historic Princess Theatre is located in the heart of Launceston. It is managed by Theatre North at the Princess, and hosts a diverse annual program of professional performing arts from around Australia. The theatre can seat over 1000 people and is also used for conferences and conventions.
The theatre was originally designed and built by Mr Marino Lucas, a vaudeville entrepreneur from Hobart. The backstage area was still incomplete when the theatre opened in 1911, so instead of live shows, silent films were shown. This proved to be so lucrative that the Theatre operated as a cinema until 1970. In 1939, when the Princess was leased to Hoyts, extensive renovations were undertaken with the facade and the foyers being completely redesigned in the art deco style.
The Princess Theatre was purchased by the Launceston City Council and opened as a live venue (its original purpose) to great fanfare on 16 November that year with a gala performance by the Australian Ballet."
Excerpt from www.thestar.com:
Encouragement: Encouragement was painted by kids of the Weston Mount Dennis Boys and Girls Club, and is exhibited at Eglinton West station. The theme is one of the values — along with teamwork, dedication and respect — Dan Mackenzie, NBA Canada’s vice president, said celebrated basketball, “whether you’re an NBA All Star or not.” When the association was pitched the art project, “we loved it right off the bat,” Mackenzie said. “This is unique,” he told the Star. “The NBA has never done a partnership like this before.”
Dedication (Pape Station): A group of Grade 6 students from Mason Road Elementary School attended the event, with NBA Canada vice president Dan Mackenzie and the TTC’s vice chair Josh Colle. “It’s a perfect example of how we can work together to not only improve our commute for our riders, but improve the lives of young people in our city,” Colle said. Dedication was painted by 360 Kids, an organization that works with homeless and at-risk youth and families.
Family: The Family mural was painted by children from the Kennedy House Youth Shelter and is displayed at Pape Station. Marcela Campos, an artist with VIBE arts, guided children from several of the schools and organizations in their painting and says the work felt like family sometimes. “It was just brilliant to see these kids … go from, ‘Oh no, I can’t draw’ to a complete turnaround,” Campos said.

Art and Culture Center of Hollywood to Present Three-Day Weekend With LA Artist/DJ/Record Collector Dave Muller
Hollywood, Fla. – Beginning Friday, Nov. 14, the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood kicks off a Three-Day Weekend with Los Angeles-based artist/DJ/record collector Dave Muller. Muller’s interactive multi-day event engages the community in a lively and electric exchange of art, music, and ideas based around the exhibition’s themes. He has recently presented unique, site-specific versions of the event in such cities as London, Tokyo, San Francisco, New York, and Vienna. Three-Day Weekend was originated by Muller after he was a student at Cal Arts; Muller would invite artists and musicians to show their work for friends in his home/studio over a long holiday weekend.
Three-Day Weekend kicks off the exhibition Rock ‘n’ Old, in which the internationally acclaimed Muller will create a mixed-media, site-specific installation that merges wall murals, large-scale paintings, three-dimensional works, and recorded music in the Center’s main gallery. Rock ‘n’ Old is funded in part by a FAB! Knight New Work Award from Funding Arts Broward and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
An artists’ reception with Muller spinning records takes place at the Center from 6 to 9 on Friday, Nov. 14. Other artists in the Center’s galleries include Bhakti Baxter, Michael Dean (aka dj yard), and Los Angeles-based Annie Buckley. These exhibitions are on display at the Center from Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014 through Sunday, Jan. 18, 2015.
Day Two of this special weekend event features a meet and greet and artist’s talk with Muller on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Center. Guests are invited to bring their own vinyl, top 10 album pick lists, and other music-related items to share and compare!
On Sunday, Nov. 16, the Center’s Free Admission Day, Muller will create free buttons for all visitors from noon to 2 p.m. Bring in photos, drawings, or anything on paper that can be made into buttons. Members of FUN – Florida Ukulele Network of Hollywood – will perform hard-rocking sounds of ukulele music in the main gallery.
For Rock ‘n’ Old, Muller will paint a mural of a timeline, or flow chart, based on the rise of rock ‘n’ roll as a genre. The artist will complement this mural with paintings up to 7 feet tall that replicate the spines of record album covers. These depictions of 10 to 20 album cover spines are rendered at the height of the person who has chosen them.
Muller will present a new work of top album choices selected by legendary rock performer Iggy Pop, who personally supplied the artist with his top picks.
The paintings serve as portraits of individuals based on their musical taste, while exploring the relationship between music, memory, and human experience. The artist will include music stations that are placed within the gallery. Sculptural elements will be exhibited as well. Dave Muller has exhibited internationally for nearly two decades. Represented by Blum & Poe Gallery (Los Angeles), Muller was the inaugural solo exhibition for the gallery’s new Tokyo space, which opened September 2014.
In Bhakti Baxter’s Returning What Was Borrowed, familiar day-to-day objects take on new roles that no longer conform to the purposes of design but rather the inherent physical properties contained in the materials of these objects. Baxter was born in Miami, where he currently lives and works. He has exhibited widely in the United States and internationally. This exhibition will feature sculptures Baxter made between 2011 and 2014 in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, where he has been based for the past four years. This exhibit was selected as one of the top 10 exhibitions to experience in the Miami Herald’s 2014/2015 Season of the Arts guide.
Michael Dean, who goes by the lowercase sobriquet dj yard, will transform the Center’s Project Room into a pop-up record store. Dean, proprietor of Hallandale-based yardbird records, is one of the best purveyors of vintage vinyl in South Florida. Dean spun for WBUS, aka The Magic Bus, when underground radio was in its infancy in Miami.
Sales of records, posters, books and musical ephemera will take place at the opening reception as well as during all Three-Day Weekend events.
Annie Buckley’s interdisciplinary and participatory project The People’s Tarot includes original collages, a tarot deck and guidebook, two print editions, and readings. Buckley began The People’s Tarot as a means of integrating more intuition into what felt like an increasingly analytical practice. The Los Angeles-based artist is familiar with the Tarot and has owned four decks over the years. She integrates meditation and research into her collage process to create a new deck with a humanist philosophy. Interaction and intuition are at the core of this project.
This artist-led project is designed to put art in viewers’ hands – literally, conceptually, and metaphorically. Readers/viewers use their own intuition in viewing the work and interpreting the cards. Participants can sign up for free readings during the opening night artists’ reception and Three-Day Weekend events.
Buckley lives and works in Los Angeles and is also a contributor to Artforum.com and the Huffington Post. Visit Anniebuckley.com for more information about her work.
Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. Free parking is available at the Center, which is located at 1650 Harrison St. General admission to the Center’s galleries is $7 for adults; $4 for students, seniors, and children ages 4 to 17; and free to Center members as well as children under the age of 4. Artists’ reception is free for members and $10 for non-members. For more information on these exhibitions, please call 954.921.3274 or visit ArtAndCultureCenter.org.

2M Series No. 4 by Bernard Schottlander (last photo also contains 3B Series No. 5). Location: Fred Roche Gardens, CMK. "These large brightly coloured abstract sculptures are based on simple geometric forms. The titles relate to the artist's initials (BMS) and he enjoyed the fact that MS could also be seen as an abbreviation of mild steel." (Source: MK Council Arts Guide pdf). "In Bernard Schottlander we discovered a man whose life trod the path between art and design in much the same way his objects did.
From his earliest years Schottlander was surrounded by art. He was born in Mainz, Germany in 1924 to a family of art enthusiasts who owned pieces by Klee, Baumeister and Kandinsky amongst others.
The rise of Nazism and the resulting persecution of the German Jewish population caused Schottlander to flee to England in 1939. He arrived in Leeds where he took up work as a welder in the wartime factories whilst simultaneously taking evening classes in sculpture.
In 1944 he served as part of the British Army in India and upon his return earned a grant to study sculpture full time for a year at the Anglo French Centre in London. This was followed up with a spell at Central School of Arts and Crafts learning Industrial Design. Schottlander's dual paths in these related but very distinct fields would form the basis of his entire career." Source: www.viaduct.co.uk/blog/Bernard-Schottlander-Sculptor-Desi...
He also has work displayed in Toronto 'November Pyramid', London 'South of the River', Warwick '3B Series 1' and Tübingen 'Pyramid' (various sources).

Vox Pop 'The Family', by John Clinch, 1988. Location: Queen's Court, CMK.
This sculpture was originally placed by the infinity pool in Queen's Court. You'd often see kids running from the pool, to the old sundial sculpture, to this sculpture and back (or you were one of those kids) - round and round, exploring.
The sculpture's in the corner of Queen's Court now, far away from the new, 'replacement' pool, but you can still see the past years of children's play polished into it (esp. on the little dog). It's been in this square for almost 30 years now.
Some background from the MK Arts Guide: A shortened form of ‘vox populi’ a Latin
phrase meaning the voice of the people.
The sculpture was originally intended to show the diversity of people needed to make
Milton Keynes a great city.
The people depicted in it are placed in a sort of circular formation, which to me seems like a wry nod to MK and our roundabouts. At the same time every figure 'stands tall' and is reaching out in some way - it feels as though they're reaching through the misconceptions with their confidence and, in doing so, breaking them down, both individually and collectively... God forbid they make eye contact with each other though ☺
Tour of La Clerecía complex
Complex started 1617 under auspices of Margarita of Austria, wife of Philip III, mother of Philip IV and grandmother of Louis XIV, Emperor Leopold I and King Carlos II of Spain. She was very religious and a patroness of the arts. Guides here say the royal couple planned or considered making the complex their tomb.

Art and Culture Center of Hollywood to Present Three-Day Weekend With LA Artist/DJ/Record Collector Dave Muller
Hollywood, Fla. – Beginning Friday, Nov. 14, the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood kicks off a Three-Day Weekend with Los Angeles-based artist/DJ/record collector Dave Muller.

Yay, it's the official publication day for Mulga's Magical Musical Creatures picture book! Order one or more from my website and I'll write a little poem inside! Here's some excerpts from Richard Cotter's review of the book now up on the Sydney Arts Guide site. "Saturated in amazing colour, MULGA’S MAGICAL MUSICAL CREATURES takes us from marvellous alliteration to imaginative illustration in a rhyming picture book for children starring a lush and illustrious array of zoological instrumentalists. A musical menagerie full of quirky colourful creatures and delicious detail, a mind expanding blend of the familiar and the surreal, MULGA’S MAGICAL MUSICAL CREATURES is simply delightful, akin to a magical mystery tour, sans the walrus." via Instagram ift.tt/2dngnqS
Vox Pop 'The Family', by John Clinch, 1988. Location: Queen's Court, CMK.
This sculpture was originally placed by the infinity pool in Queen's Court. You'd often see kids running from the pool, to the old sundial sculpture, to this sculpture and back (or you were one of those kids) - round and round, exploring.
The sculpture's in the corner of Queen's Court now, far away from the new, 'replacement' pool, but you can still see the past years of children's play polished into it (esp. on the little dog). It's been in this square for almost 30 years now.
Some background from the MK Arts Guide: A shortened form of ‘vox populi’ a Latin
phrase meaning the voice of the people.
The sculpture was originally intended to show the diversity of people needed to make
Milton Keynes a great city.
The people depicted in it are placed in a sort of circular formation, which to me seems like a wry nod to MK and our roundabouts. At the same time every figure 'stands tall' and is reaching out in some way - it feels as though they're reaching through the misconceptions with their confidence and, in doing so, breaking them down, both individually and collectively... God forbid they make eye contact with each other though ☺

"As irreverent as it is poignant" (Australian Arts Review), this classical cello recital plays out like a piece of performance art run by a masterly jester blurring artistry, humanity, and insanity. Featuring Suite Number One in G Major by JS Bach and personal comedic pieces crafted in Idiot classes, Karen fuses in a healthy dose of pathos tackling identity, expectations, and success through the eyes of a fool.
Karen Hall is a multi-award winning creator and performer. As a cellist she most visibly spent four seasons on the TV show Glee in addition to her diverse work from orchestra pits to symphonic stages and recording studios. Her solo show, “Delusions and Grandeur”, a cello recital meets clown show, has performed to sold-out audiences and critical acclaim around the world.

At the Rosenmeier House on 1st Street SE
From the town's Tourism website:
"The Burton-Rosenmeier House / Little Falls Visitor Center was built in 1903 for Barney Burton, who made his fortune selling woolen clothing and accessories to lumberjacks. Burton owned dry goods stores throughout central and northern Minnesota.
"The Little Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau currently uses the historic house as a visitor’s information center and office. The home is on the National Register of Historic Places and is open to the public for free, self-guided tours daily and year round. There you can find visitor information on Little Falls and surrounding areas including area maps, biking routes, public arts guides, historic walking/driving guides, Lindbergh driving tour, and brochures on all the areas attractions.
"His home was sold to Christian Rosenmeier in 1921. Rosenmeier was an attorney for the Pine Tree Lumber Company, president of the American National Bank, American Savings and Trust Company, and a Minnesota State Senator from 1922 to 1934. He played a role in establishing Camp Ripley and Lindbergh State Park. Rosenmeier’s son, Gordon, was the next owner from 1932-1989. He also was an attorney and a Minnesota State Senator, serving from 1940 to 1971."

The church is 101 feet high [30.8m approx] (to the top of the lantern) while the cross rises a further 18 feet [5.5m approx]. The Cross on top of the lantern is the work of artist/metalsmith Alan Evans of Stroud in Gloucestershire and was placed in position during a special service on Good Friday 29 March 1991 that was attended by over one thousand people - Source: The Church of Christ the Cornerstone website.
The Cross weighs approximately 1.7 tonnes and if you use this link you'll see pictures of it around the time of installation (there's a brilliant one of workmen putting it in place). www.alanrobertevans.co.uk/mkthumbs.htm
City Church Cross, 1991. This simple cross can be viewed from 360º and consists of 8 blades wrapped together with steel. The artist reflects the ecumenical nature of the church - ‘the coming together of different denominations, the binding together of the elements whilst still retaining their individual identity. - Source: MK Arts Guide 2012.

Jonathon Holmes is a songwriter, actor or pianist (whichever way the wind blows) from Sydney, Australia. His new musical comedy farce ‘Three In The Bed’ will premiere at King Street Theatre, Newtown, from September 1-9. Jonathon’s new single ‘Pretentious’ has just dropped; and his debut EP ‘Plutonese’ of quirky piano-pop produced by Matt Fell was released in 2014. But he is more commonly known as the guy with emojis on his face in the video of his angry jazz beat-poem ‘Get Your Hands (Off Your F***ing Phone)’. His theatre roles include Berger in ‘Hair’; Hewson/Downer in ‘Keating!’; and director of ‘The Fantasticks’. He is also the pianist for ‘Mickey’s Jazz Club’, re-interpreting Disney songs (because he’s still five in his head).
In real life, Jonathon speaks in first person.
“Jonathon Holmes is a clear audience favourite.” – Aussie Theatre
“Unforgettable… no-holds barred…” – Sydney Arts Guide
“Jonathon Holmes does it in style.” – Stage Whispers
“He made us feel wonderfully uncomfortable.” – Australian Stage
