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:Packsaddle Lecture: Sundeep Bhandari\, The Gondwana Art Project
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the final Packsaddle Lecture of 2025 as Sundeep Bhandari\, founder-trustee of Craft and Community Development Foundation (CCDF)\, presents his work on the Gondwana Art Project—a dedicated initiative supporting tribal artists from the Gondwana region of central India (Madhya Pradesh & Maharashtra)\, working in Gond\, Warli and Bhil traditions. In partnership with NERAM’s exhibition Echoes of the Earth: Tribal and Desert Art\, the Foundation has collaborated directly with the museum to bring these artists’ voices and works to an Australian audience. \nUnder the Gondwana Art project\, CCDF’s mission is to create a platform for tribal artists to present their work and their perspectives demonstrating their craftsmanship and creativity\, introducing new methods and techniques that express both traditional and contemporary imagery and values. In this initiative\, CCDF promotes artists and their art form that evolves from the dynamic living traditions. This project offers an invitation to the viewer to discover Gondwana region and artists that epitomise the incomparable diversity of contemporary tribal and popular Indian art. \n  \nSundeep Bhandari\, is a New Delhi–based business strategist with over three decades of experience in India’s energy and infrastructure sectors\, and is the founder trustee of Craft and Community Development Foundation. He has undertaken several philanthropic projects and was heading the CSR board of Cairn India Ltd. In this role\, he was instrumental in establishing community support and development projects across the country including the Centre of Excellence for vocational training in Jodhpur and The Enterprise Centre at Barmer ITI. He established Craft and Community Development Foundation with the aim of up-skilling artisans in different fields across India. \nEstablished in 2008\, the Craft and Community Development Foundation (CCDF) is a registered not-for-profit organisation created to support and fund projects that enhance livelihoods for communities in the arts and crafts sector. CCDF’s vision is to undertake initiatives that upskill artisans through the introduction of new concepts and designs while preserving the authenticity of traditional practices and connecting them to new markets. The foundation creates an empowering space that supports specialised crafts by providing training\, introducing innovative design elements\, and developing market linkages. Through workshops and skill development programs\, CCDF works to strengthen artisan communities and improve their overall quality of life. \n\n\nThe Packsaddle Lecture Series invites guest speakers to expound on aspects of Australian and international artistic practices and history\, providing the community with an opportunity to explore themes and ideas related to some of the museum’s key collection areas. \n  \n \n \nEchoes of the Earth: Tribal and Desert Art has been produced in partnership with the Craft and Community Development Foundation\,  Utopia Art Sydney and Papunya Tula Artists.
