Australia’s beloved cartoonist and philosopher Michael Leunig will be in Peregian Beach on Friday 12^th August to launch our brand new and exciting writer’s institute Write on the Coast, the culmination of a dream, at the Peregian Beach Community House.  We are honoured to welcome Michael into our Advisory Circle;  he is very enthusiastic about the Institute, and we appreciate him joining us in celebration of our launch.  At the event Michael will speak about the 50 years of his artistic, political and emotional life, and we are thrilled that we will be witness to Michael creating some artworks during the evening.  These works will be auctioned at the end of Michael’s presentation, with the resulting funds being donated to Write on the Coast, to help us to bring literary events and workshops into the future.  Wine and delicious finger food will be provided.  Please be aware that this will be a popular event, and audience numbers are strictly limited.  Annie’s Books on Peregian will have a selection of Michael Leunig titles available for sale.
