Perth Bowling Club launches inaugural art exhibition
Australian artist Stormie Mills is putting some of his iconic artworks up for sale to help raise funds for a transformative upgrade of the Dalkeith Bowling Club. This Friday, more than 100 pieces of artwork from a number of local and national artists will be up for sale at the bowling club's inaugural art exhibition Art on the Green. Amongst the art up for grabs are works from acclaimed artist Mills, who has donated four pieces, including a paintbrush used to paint one of his famous murals on Bondi Beach. 'When I do a mural, I like to save a brush full from the work,' he said. 'So that's the one from a mural I did on Bondi Beach. 'The others are just more recent works, which are more based on studies of people. Two of them are on paper and one is on linen.' Club president David Steinberg said the exhibition is not only a way to raise funds for much-needed club upgrades, but also to attract a younger generation of members.

'So we're looking to try and embrace a number of other activities and start introducing people to the club, which is where the idea for the art exhibit came from.' His wife and long-standing club member Janet Steinberg has been helping put together the pieces for the art exhibition, which includes her own works. 'There's a total of 18 artists altogether, a mixture of professional and local artists, as well as amateur painters,' she said. 'I've got about 16 of my own paintings going in too.' The funds raised at the exhibition will help go towards a $1 million project to transform one of the grass lawns into synthetic with a roof overhead that could double as an outdoor event space. 'The upgrade will open the facility up to having events and functions outside of lawn bowling to bring in younger people,' Mr Steinberg said. The club recently welcomed a brand new sport to the premises with the installation of three new padel courts, in partnership with West Coast Padel. The exhibition will be on display all weekend, with members of the community invited to join the opening night celebration on Friday, August 1 from 5-9pm.

AFL refuses to rule out whether rapper Snoop Dogg will lead pre-game entertainment at 2025 Grand Final
It would be tha shiznit. Rumours are swirling that Snoop Dogg will drop it like it's hot for the pre-game entertainment at this year's AFL grand final. But the AFL is refusing to say whether the talk is fo' shizzle. The speculation started after Melbourne radio host Ross Stevenson told 3AW's Rumour File 'it had been suggested' the 53-year-old would headline the game at the MCG on September 27. 'It has been suggested to me that the Grand Final entertainment this year will be Snoop Dogg,' he told the show last week. AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon dismissed rumours at a press conference on Tuesday. But promised fans they could expect 'big acts'. 'The Grand Final entertainment is important,' he said. 'So many people care about it and we're going to have a big act that we'll be announcing relatively soon.' AFL spokesperson Jay Allen dodged questions about the rapper and said pre-game entertainment announcement would be imminent. 'The pre-game entertainment at the AFL Grand Final is always a talking point and we're hoping to make an announcement shortly,' he told The West Australian. 'We are excited to deliver another world class show in front of 100,000 fans at the 'G and the millions more watching the broadcast ahead of the biggest game of the season.' Best known for his hits Drop It Like It's Hot and Gin and Juice, Snoop made music history after headlining the 2022 Super Bowl LVI halftime show with other hip-hop greats Dr Dre, Eminem, Mary J Blige and Kendrick Lamar. The rapper has been at the centre of various controversies, including claims he sexually assaulted a woman after one of his concerts in 2013. Snoop last toured Australia in 2023 as part of his 'I Wanna Thank Me' tour.
