Marks are Memories: Selected Indigenous works from the Moule Collection12 Jul 2024
10am - 4pm Armidale local Professor Alex Moule and his artist wife, Dr Judy-Ann Moule, have a deep appreciation and interest in Australian Indigenous art. This interest was sparked nearly 20 years ago and since then they have forged strong connections to artists and gallerists in various communities and have assembled a significant private collection. Marks are Memories delves into the breadth of this collection and celebrates not just the rich artistic oeuvre of contemporary indigenous art but also acknowledges the meaningful journey the Moules have undertaken while developing their collection.

The Titled Lens16 Aug 2024
10am - 4pm A photographic exhibition by Katherina Norton A photographic exhibition by Katherina Norton. Reality versus perception in photographs. What if the reality we perceive differs from what exists? The reality we live in, does not always correspond to the real world or what others might see. What we see is a clever construction of the brain's guesses. Guesses that are obscured by a sensory veil and revealed to our minds through the complex mechanisms of perception. Perceptions that are visual illusions, as well as transient glimpses of objective reality and deeper truth.

It's very informal, and we can then gather on the rocks and have a hot cuppa (tea or chai will be provided). Bring a chair if you like. Everyone welcome (the haiku is not compulsory) *A haiku is a poem written in a form or style inspired by Japanese haiku --- typically short poems often referencing the natural environment.

Misa a Buenos Airies22 Sep 2024

Created 20 years ago by the Argentinian composer Martín Palmeri, MisaTango is a choral mass on Tango sounds. It is composed on the same movements as a mass in classical Latin, in which the harmonics and syncopated rhythms of tango are mixed. Fiori Musicali’s performance will include Leanne Roobol as soloist, and an ensemble featuring James Chen, India Smith, Alma Kanety, Stephen Tafra, Arlene Fletcher and Robyn Bradley.
