Joni Mitchell is widely regarded as one of history’s greatest singer-songwriters, but the artist, often frustrated in the music industry, always considered herself first and foremost a painter. The Joni Mitchell Portrait Series celebrates both of Joni’s arts by combining an art class and a tribute concert.

 For those painting, you will be supplied with instructions and materials to create a personalized portrait in the style of the event’s chosen cover art. Meanwhile, Pepper and Davies will take painters and audiences on a musical tour across Mitchell’s career, weaving in storytelling about the iconic artist’s life. Their musical approach is beautifully authentic, with Joni’s unique re-tuned guitar strings, and vocals that range from the sweeping and lilting folk soprano of the ‘60s to the rich alto of the folk-funkified ‘70s .

 Our DAY EVENT, on Sunday May 5, inspired by the Ladies Of the Canyon cover art, will be held at Navigate Arts, in the beautiful Old Tanja Church, surrounded by lush gardens, bush and birds, with an autumnal grazing plate and mulled wine to compliment your experience (included in ticket purchase)

 Our NIGHT EVENT, on Friday May 17, inspired by the Both Sides Now cover art, will be held in the Tilba Small Hall, supported by the quirky saloon and retro vinyl store Sweetwater, who will be designing a special Joni Mitchell Cocktail for the occasion! Have a complimentary Polaroid taken at the bar for painting inspiration, and enjoy a Turkish street food inspired mezze plate and chai courtesy of Sunda & her daughters.

 For Joni fans new and seasoned, whether a keen listener or painter, this is for you. And - what a great Mothers’ Day Gift!
