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:Across the Ditch (and back again)
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative printmaking project challenging participants to embrace experimentation and freedom in printmaking. Members of the Black Gully Printmakers (Armidale) and Te Kowhai Print Trust (Whangarei\, New Zealand) have provided a print to a member of the other collective who then responds to the original artist’s imagery and approach. Each participant is relieved from conceiving an entire finished work\, and instead\, brings their own flavour\, technique and finesse to another’s. The results are anyone’s guess! \n  \n  \nVIEW THE PRINTS\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n                      \n  \nImage Credit: Annie Brammal\, member of Te Kowhai Print Trust New Zealand \n

SUMMARY:Tinted: Janna Hayes and Phoebe Hillard
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together two distinct artistic practices exploring how perspective shapes experience. Through contrasting approaches to colour\, form\, and process\, Hayes and Hillard examine the ways meaning is shaped by the narratives we create and the way in which we express it. \nImage: Phoebe Hillard\, Still in the moment\, 2026. pastel on paper\n  \nTinted Catalogue – Janna Hayes and Phoebe Hillard\n

SUMMARY:Skywhales Across Australia: Patricia Piccinini
DESCRIPTION:Patricia Piccinini’s Skywhalepapa is a monumental sculpture in the form of a hot-air balloon. Together with its companion piece Skywhale they form a skywhale family. \nFollowing their debut over Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra 2021\, the floating pair will continue to take to skies across Australia as a National Gallery touring event in 2026. \nPiccinini believes Skywhales Across Australia is not only two spectacular sculptures but a performance piece: \n\n“I imagine visitors assembling to watch Skywhalepapa coming to life\, with a single skywhale figure we have a character\, but with the two we have a relationship\, and a narrative.” says Piccinini. \nAs the skywhales float across the dawn skies\, Piccinini calls on communities to engage with them creatively. Make a morning of it\, prepare a picnic\, watch in awe\, and sing along in wonder as the skywhale family takes flight. \n\n  \nSee the skywhales in Armidale as part of the Autumn Festival on the 21st of March from 5:30am at Rologas Sporting Fields and floating over the CBD as the sun rises. \n  \nPatricia Piccinini will then join us at the New England Regional Art Museum for the following events: \n11am-12pm: Every Heart Sings Book Reading \n1:30pm-2:30pm: Artist Talk with Patricia Piccinini \nSkywhales Across Australia is a National Gallery Touring Event\, supported by the Australian Government through Visions of Australia and the National Collecting Institutions Touring Outreach Program.  \nSkywhales is the third instalment of The Balnaves Contemporary Series and is a Know My Name project. \n \n
