SUMMARY:Wonders of HINTON
DESCRIPTION:Experience one of the greatest collections of art in regional Australia with the new semi-permanent display\, Wonders of Hinton. \nThe Howard Hinton Collection is the result of one of the greatest acts of artistic philanthropy and benefaction in Australian history. Between 1929 and 1948 a collection of over 1000 artworks were donated to the newly constructed Armidale Teachers’ College by the retired shipping agent\, Howard Hinton OBE (1866-1948). The collection provides a snapshot into Australian artistic practice in the early twentieth century as well as some insights into this ‘modest and self-effacing’ gentleman who lived in a boarding house in the north shore suburb of Cremorne and is one of the most significant collections of Australian art in regional New South Wales. \nOpening Night Event: Friday 3 February\, 6pm \n

SUMMARY:How to Weather Together
DESCRIPTION:How to Weather Together is a multi-artform project that explores how we live with and respond to climate change through the intimate\, daily experiences of weather—both ordinary and extreme. Bringing together illustration\, visual art\, writing\, film\, and participatory activities\, the project invites audiences to consider how the shifting climate shapes our emotions\, behaviours\, and communities. Rather than focusing solely on facts or forecasts\, How to Weather Together encourages reflection\, conversation\, and creativity\, prompting visitors to ask unusual questions and to imagine new habits\, practices\, and ways of being as we adapt to a changing ecological future. \nCurated by Jennifer Hamilton \nArtists: \n Clare Britton\, Rae Haynes\, Horizon Factory (Nina Vroemen and Erin Hill)\, Henri van Noordenburg\, Marissa Betts & Mike Terry\, Tessa Zettel & Susie Nelson\, The Weathering Collective (Tessa Zettel\, Astrida Neimanis\, Jennifer Hamilton). \n  \nCredit: Illustration by Tessa Zettel: G Market Stall from How to weather together: Feminist practice for climate change (Bloomsbury: 2026) \n  \nThis exhibition is supported by Arts North West. \n \n

SUMMARY:WATER: Rowen Matthews
DESCRIPTION:Through his luminous and meditative paintings\, Rowen Matthews explores the distinctive landscapes of the New England highlands through the elemental theme of water. Focusing on the region’s many dams—iconic features that shape both ecology and imagination—Matthews reflects on how these bodies of water hold memory\, sustain life\, and mirror shifting skies. His work captures the delicate interplay between environment\, identity and belonging\, shaped by more than three decades of living and working in Armidale. Water is both an artistic and personal journey\, offering a contemplative view of landscape as a site of renewal\, reflection and deep connection. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCredit: Rowen Matthews\, Shadow Dam\, 2025\, oil on canvas \n

SUMMARY:Performance: The Sign of the Times
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with the opening of How to Weather Together\, exhibiting artist Henri van Noordenburg and composure Paul Smith will present a live performance in the gallery. \nThe Sign of the Times project takes outcomes and processes from Henri’s visual art practice and Smith’s composition and practice\, and presents them in a performance. Integral to the structure of the work is collaborative improvisation. Each artist responds to the other’s input\, and this in turn affects the performance and finished work. \nBorn in The Netherlands and based in Brisbane\, Henri van Noordenburg is a visual artist whose practice merges photography\, drawing and performance to explore memory\, landscape and belonging. Using a distinctive hand-carved technique inspired by sgraffito\, his works have been exhibited internationally\, including the Manila Biennale and Scope Basel. He has received multiple awards\, and his work is held in major public and private collections including LACMA and NERAM. \nPaul Smith (he/they) is a composer and researcher based in Sydney who specialises in writing opera and music for the toy piano. He is Associate Professor of Music at the University of New England. Paul has held composer/performer residencies in Armenia (2018)\, Italy (2019) and Japan (2024)\, and he was a featured composer of the inaugural Korean toy piano festival in Seoul. In 2022 he received the ABC Composer Commission Fund to compose three new works for toy piano and recorder which were released by ABC Classics. Paul’s traditional research focuses on the politics of singing and the voice and recent publications explore multilingualism in opera. \n  \nImage: Henri van Noordenburg\, Composition XCI Arvo Pärt deck\, 2024. Hand carved ink on Hahnemühle \n
