Gosford Regional Gallery Events Program

Mark your diaries! Living Colour will be on exhibition at Gosford Regional Gallery, back in Australia, from 18  April – 27 May 2015. (See page 8 of the gallery’s events program.)

Living Colour at Northart Gallery

The exhibition opened at Northart Gallery, Northcote , New Zealand on Wednesday and continues until 11 February 2015.  Gallery hours are 10am-4pm daily (closed for Waitangi Day).  Thank you to everyone who joined the festivities.  There was a good turnout (not just my family!) including many artists from the Northart Members exhibition that also opened that evening.  One artist (painter) remarked to me that the floor talk was a revelation and she has a new appreciation for the textile medium.

Here are some photos from the opening.  Thank you to the Northart Gallery team for their care and attention in hanging the exhibition in rainbow sequence.  This time the rainbow flows from right t0 left to fit with the configuration of the space in Galleries 4 and 5.  As you can see, the gallery has glass frontage so the works can even be viewed after hours.

Thanks also to my friend Horst who took some photos while I was giving my talk.  More photos can be viewed on the Living Colour Facebook Page.
