Description

Please join us for the reprise of

WRITING ON WILD WATER
Ross Donlon’s 8th book of poetry

This is like a love story, or a love letter, divided into a hundred small pieces. Each one is a stroke on the mirror of the fjord, with an attentive gaze on everything that happens, big and small, in the landscape, in the history of the villages, in the human mind.

Knut Markhus, author and historian

Ross Donlons' poems speak directly to the hearts and souls of the artists who once resided at Kunstnarhuset Messen on the Hardangerfjord. The repetitive swimming mornings, the daily routine of working in the studios, the flow moments of creating, staring at the view of the mountains falling in love with the Hardangerfjord for life.

Ingrid Pasmans, visual artist, Amsterdam

The Coolroom at the Northern Arts Hotel, located at 359 Barker St Castlemaine, is a place for a melange of musical experiences – jazz, folk, classical, experimental, cool pop, western, Americana, and other event-based performances in an active listening, quiet room atmosphere. It’s also a place for friends and strangers to come together to share a secret film screening or talk. There’s The Coolroom Bar, where drinks are at reasonable prices, and The Coolroom Cinema home to the Free Sunday Secret Movie Matinee.

There are also other events, workshops and talks and Festivals that find home in our dedicated and flexible space. Recently we are proud to be involved in the Castlemaine Fringe, Castlemaine Jazz and Castlemaine Pride Festivals. We also host regular events by groups such as Castlemaine Free University, Maine-ly Ukes, Celtic Song Circle, Guildford Folk Club, and PoetiCas.

We hope you’ll join us in the relaxed, convivial atmosphere.
