It has been suggested that the various artists in Natimuk comprise a ‘school’ in the sense of the plein air’ or the Heidleberg school.  What binds these artists together is not a shared form but a shared inspiration, the wish to create art and live in this Wimmera environment. And perhaps in a postmodern world it does form a school. Thus we can have animators, film makers, dancers, aerialists, conceptual artists, shadow puppeteers, performers, scriptwriters, poets, writers, wood craftspeople, printmakers, photographers, sculptors, multi-media artists, musicians and yes, even painters, as part of the ‘school’. And like other schools this group derive inspiration from each other.
