Join us for our Winter Exhibition Launch presenting four new exhibitions that delve into a variety of environmentally challenging themes and issues, as part of the Gallery 2023 Year of Environmental Exhibitions and Programs. In addition, we present two new exhibitions offering insights into life across the Riverina region through our Regional Artist Development (RAD) Program, and an exciting project by young people.
Hayden Fowlers survey exhibition ‘UnEarthly’ presents two decades of performance, sculpture, installation, and video work exploring the intersections between human and animal natures, and revitalisation of the natural world.
Nicola Dickson's 'Only a Remnant' explores biodiversity loss in the Riverina, centring upon the Box Gum Grassy Woodlands that once covered much of South-Eastern Australia and were the homelands of Indigenous Peoples including Wiradjuri nation.
Living on Wiradjuri Country, artist Juanita McLauchlan draws upon her Gamilaraay identity, history and language to explore family connections through ambitious new works in 'gii mara-bula / Heart Hand-also.
In 'River in my mind, in my work' artist Nathalie Hartog-Gautier utilises river landscapes to explore colonised environments and ecological devastation.
After recently undertaking an artist in residence as part of our RAD Program local artist Tracey Jones returns to presents her new exhibition ‘60 Miles as the Crow Flies,’ exploring beauty and decay seen in the quintessential rural Australian streetscape.
As part of a 8-week youth photography program with Wagga’s F.Stop Workshop, ‘HERE NOW: Photobooks for the Future’ presents a series of photo books developed by young people exploring life, here and now.
