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:Closing weekend of How to weather together
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 31st January from 10.30am-1pm  \nMAZDA Gallery \nSpend Saturday morning in the gallery reading\, discuss and maybe even write some poetry around the topic of weathering. As part of the closing weekend of How to weather together\, the curator Jennifer Hamilton is hosting a poetry gathering for poetry readers and writers. The general topic for the gathering is “weathering” broadly understood. Weathering can be literal\, very metaphorical or a combination of the two. \nBring a poem or two to read and discuss. You also might want to branch out to think about climate/climate change and environmental crisis. Poems can be from any time in history; authored by yourself or another. Even if the connection to weather/weathering is extremely tangential the poem is welcome. Being able to read the poem and share the connection with the theme in discussion is the purpose. \nIf we run out of things to talk about we will practice “Close Meteorology” together and generate some found poetry out of our observations. \n  \nFREE EVENT \nREGISTRATION ESSENTIAL \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Workshop: Stitching Signs for Future Living
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Rae Haynes at NERAM for a hands-on creative session inspired by their series Signs for Future Living on show as part of the exhibition How To Weather Together. 10 Signs for Future Living draws together 10 feminist protest slogans\, interweaving demands for climate\, gender and social justice – all fundamental to the state of future living.\n\n\nIn this workshop\, you’ll transform threads\, fabric scraps and leftover materials through embroidery\, cross-stitch and applique techniques into bold Feminist Badges and Banners\, complete with text to make your message loud and proud. DIY badges and banners have long been a powerful tool in feminist activism as portable statements of identity\, solidarity\, and protest. Wear yours as a personal declaration or share it with someone who needs encouragement or empowerment.\n\n\nNo experience is needed and all materials are provided— just bring your curiosity and love for making. Let’s stitch\, subvert\, and celebrate feminist voices together.\n\n\nWorkshop is free but spaces are limited and bookings essential.\n\n\n\n
