Exhibitions Opening at Tuggeranong Arts Centre

Overview

Join the artists at the official opening of From Country, True: Kevin Gilbert (1933 - 1930) and the Wish You Were Here community postcard exhibition at Tuggeranong Arts Centre.

Have a glass of wine with the artists, their friends and people from Canberra's local arts scene. Hear from guest speakers and enjoy the celebratory atmosphere as you browse the artwork in three new exhibitions. Free, all welcome.

From Country is a collaborative art exhibition by Megan Daley (Ngunnawal/Wiradjuri) and Rechelle Turner (Wiradjuri) that delves into their deep-rooted connection to Country and the timeless stories it holds.

True: Kevin Gilbert (1933–1993) is an exhibition of prints and poetry by Kevin Gilbert, that recalls the artist, the writer and the activist, beginning in what would have been his 92nd year. Celebrate his life and art with images and poetry created during his lifetime along with some works editioned for the first time.

Curated from an open call out for small works, Wish You Were Here exhibition artists were invited to reflect on the Tuggeranong Valley environment and communicate through their work, things that are special, unique and remembered or that just bring every-day joy and delight to people that reside, work or visit Canberra's South.
