Art Park Gallery is all about creativity. Launched late last year, the Byron Bay based gallery provides a great space for solo and group exhibitions and celebrates all forms of art such as painting, drawing, photography and even its more recent addition of graffiti art. If your in the area, be sure to visit this Friday from 6pm to have a look at Beastman in action with a live graffiti spraying session! The gallery is definitely worth a visit if you’re heading to Byron in the future.

This year, we invite you to our November Sale, with a difference. As all of you who have ever popped into our Lewisham store would know, we are always there to help you achieve what you are after and our sale is no different. With a few minor changes (for the better of course) we hope our sale this year will be even more rewarding.
Traditionally running from Thursday to Sunday, this November, our sale has picked up a few extra days, meaning, more open hours! In addition, we will also be dedicating a work space especially for all of you who would like to work with us one on one. Our work space will be focusing on photo frames and albums, so be sure to bring in your photos, artwork, images or objects and let us help you create something wonderful and full of meaning!
So come in, have a chat, a sticky beak, ask a few questions and let us make gift giving easy.

As part of an exciting collaboration between gift guru Chris from Opus and Corban & Blair, Paddington’s well known and loved Opus store will be your one stop shop in the Eastern suburbs for all your frame needs. Beginning on Monday October 31 and spanning two whole weeks, Opus will be featuring many classic Corban & Blair frames in different sizes, styles and colours. As part of this collaboration we, along with Opus will also be running a special competition that you simply can't miss! Purchase any Corban & Blair Frame from Opus between October 31 - November 14 and go in the draw to WIN a $200 Opus gift voucher and a Corban & Blair wall of frames valued at $170 (a black or white set - you get to pick!). View Competition T&C's here.
So, come in, have a look and a chat and be sure to check out the amazing window display that will be featuring old magazine covers (as featured above), articles and comics in a variety of Corban & Blair frames – something we at Corban & Blair and Chris are very excited about!
A family owned and run business, Opus has been strongly operating for 43 years. Situated on the ever so bustling Oxford Street in Paddington, the shop is full of affordable gifts that are stylish but also quite individual and more often than not, that little bit quirky. What we absolutely love about Opus, apart from their product offerings, is that Chris (pictured above, as seen in House & Garden) and his team are extremely hard working, kind hearted and will always go that extra mile for a customer, making the Opus experience a definite winner!
Corban & Blair have teamed up with Bristol & Brooks to bring you two new collections across two weeks. Visit Bristol & Brooks in the QVB or Chifley Plaza to view our new travel accessories (17 – 21 Oct) and technology covers (24 – 28 Oct) which feature rich accents of colour, straight from the South of France.
As part of our collaboration we will also be offering you a chance to WIN a prize each week. Simply leave your business card with the lovely Bristol & Brooks staff when visiting either store. Winners will be drawn and announced on both our Facebook page and Lifestyle blog on October 21and 28 respectively.
