Events for November 10, 2023

Experience one of the greatest collections of art in regional Australia with the new semi-permanent display, Wonders of Hinton.

While women have traditionally occupied the space of working with textiles and fibre crafts, often seen and accepted as ‘women’s work’, a growing number of queer and/or non-binary artists are embracing and claiming these techniques and materials for their practice.

Inspiration and Iterations features works selected from NERAM’s collections, along with original contemporary responses by invited artists, including established, emerging, and students.

This exhibition showcases a selection of works that have undergone preservation treatments over the past two years, provides an overview of the causes of deterioration affecting museum collections, and offers a new range of artworks from NERAM available for adoption.

The artists in this exhibition share intimate relationships (mother/son, husband/wife, mother-in-law/daughter-in-law) while also sharing a commitment to the environment and to social justice in their arts practice.

Tenterfield printmaker Liz Powell takes archaeology for a ride through the New England tablelands combining botany, early domestic labour, farm machinery and history.
