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:echoes & silences: untethered fibre artists
DESCRIPTION:echoes & silences brings together 20 artists from the untethered fibre artists collective\, a group formed over a decade ago to champion fibre as a vital contemporary art form. Known for their inventive\, theme-driven exhibitions\, the collective pushes the boundaries of fibre practice through diverse materials\, techniques and conceptual approaches. \nechoes & silences explores both the tangible and intangible — from landscape and oceans to memory\, emotion and stillness. Across 38 meticulously crafted works\, artists reflect on personal and collective experience\, engaging with themes of family\, grief\, disability\, womanhood and connection to the natural world. Each work maintains its own voice while contributing to a richly layered and cohesive narrative\, inviting audiences to consider how fibre can speak powerfully to our shared human experience. \n  \nuntethered fibre artists inc. is an Australian collective formed over a decade ago to create professional opportunities for fibre artists and to champion technically accomplished\, conceptually rich practice. Working collaboratively around shared exhibition themes\, the group explores both intimate personal narratives and broader social and historical concerns. Using fibre in all its forms — from natural to synthetic\, traditional to technologically advanced — their work embraces diverse processes including weaving\, felting\, printing and stitching. Through open dialogue\, mutual support and strong relationships\, untethered fosters individual artistic growth while producing cohesive\, innovative exhibitions that reflect both personal vision and collective purpose. \n \nImage: Brenda Livermore\, Walking Between Worlds 11\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Intimate Connections
DESCRIPTION:Intimate Connections invites audiences to encounter the NERAM Collections through the powerful relationships that shaped some of Australia’s most significant artists. Rather than tracing art history through movements or styles\, this exhibition tells its story through human connection\, exploring how friendship\, partnership\, and love have influenced creative practice. The exhibition reveals the mutual influence and collaboration that occur when artists work in close proximity\, within shared communities and creative circles. It makes visible the often-unseen exchange of ideas between artists whose lives and practices were deeply intertwined\, demonstrating how creativity is rarely made in isolation. \n  \nImage: Emmanuel Phillips Fox\, The Butterfly\, c.1910.

SUMMARY:Traces: Memory in landscape: Beth MacRaild O'Loughlin & Eveline Chan
DESCRIPTION:Traces explores the notion of trace as memory – a mark or a moment in the landscape that connects a present glimpse with a shadow passing. Each image is a contemplation on the transient nature of our moments and the memories that inhabit these places – of what can be seen and that which is unseen\, leaving a trace that signifies the passing of time and the coexistence of the past in the present. \nTraces brings together two new bodies of work for the artists\, Eveline Chan and Beth MacRaild O’Loughlin\, who have also worked collaboratively on some pieces\, using a range of printmaking and analogue photographic practices. \nPlease use links below to view the Traces catalogue online. \nTraces Catalogue – Works by Beth MacRaild O’Loughlin \nTraces Catalogue– Collaborative Works by Beth MacRaild O’Loughlin and Evelin Chan \nTraces Catalogue– Works by Eveline Chan  \nImage: Eveline Chan and Beth MacRaild O’Loughlin\, Intersections\, 2025 . photogravure print with chine collé\n

SUMMARY:Of Brushes and Light
DESCRIPTION:Of Brushes and Light celebrates the evolution of Impressionism in Australia in the late nineteenth century\, and the impact the en plein air movement had on the portrayal of the Australian landscape. During this extraordinary period of change and independence\, artists discarded conservative customs and embraced the greater freedom of a more bohemian life and outlook.  Liberated from academic and formal traditions\, they created artistic communities\, camps and societies that were brimming with camaraderie\, comradeship and irreverence. Artworks created during this time form a cornerstone of art history in Australia today\, influencing the generations of artists that followed\, and were pivotal in recognizing the extraordinary quality of light\, colour and air of Australian landscape. \nThis exhibition explores iconic artworks collected by Howard Hinton from this period and draws out the extraordinary beauty of many artists less well known from this time. \nImage: Walter Withers\, On the Beach\, (c.1902)\, oil on wood\, Gift of Howard Hinton 1939\n  \n
