Succa Mum's newest project is another community focused art piece, this time collecting artworks from the community and displaying them in the window of her studio on Olympic Street.

She'll be bringing together artworks no larger than 10cm tall or wide from all across Griffith and the surrounding area, hoping to be able to display them in a grand yet tiny gallery on Sunday the 29^th of August.

Mrs Ronan said that she was inspired by her recent murals and wanted to do something different.

"I was doing murals, going really big so I thought it would be fun to do something really small."

Her goal with the art is always to connect the community to each other and herself, describing herself as a "community artist."

"Western Riverina Arts gave me $1500 to help support me as an artist. Before that I'd been paying for the community projects myself so it was tempting to just pocket it and say 'great, I'm finally being paid' but I thought let's keep the ball rolling" she joked.

Mrs Ronan is excited to see the art scene continue to flourish in Griffith.

She said "It's only just beginning here, I think COVID changed everything and people are getting involved ... I encourage people to be community minded. If you can't teach a class, join a class and connect that way."

To contribute to the project, submitted artworks must be original, family friendly and no larger than 10cm tall and wide. Pieces can be dropped off at Greengecko Art Studio between 9am - 4pm, or during Succa Mum's open studio sessions.
