FreeJoin NERAM’s education officer for a guided tour of the iconic Howard Hinton Collection. Between 1928 and 1948 a collection of over 1000 artworks by leading Australian artists were donated to the newly constructed Armidale Teachers’ College by the retired shipping agent, Howard Hinton OBE (1867-1948). The Collection provides a snapshot into Australian artistic practice in the early twentieth century. HINTON: Treasures of Australian Art displays 132 works selected from the Howard Hinton Collection and provides an overview of Hinton’s aesthetic sensibility, and the quantity and quality of his collection. To follow the guided tour participants are welcome to morning tea and if inspired, a hands on still life drawing activity.
