With the New Year upon us it is always good to step back and kick start off our year with resolutions, but if you read the myriads of articles on the subject you will now know that most want to lose weight or start an exercise class or eat better.

So as we are all about ART we thought we would give you some fresh ART IDEAS for your New Year.

We particularly like the recent quote by QWeekend Magazine Editor and journalist Kylie Lang in her Sunday Mail column headlining her article on New Year’s resolutions with “Take small steps on the path to change”
So with great intentions your resolution should be “Take it one step at a time to achieve your goal”.

And buy more art.” Edwina McCann, editor-in-chief Vogue Australia.
