The exhibition includes Kiddle’s work, and the work of several other artists and practitioners from around the region, each of whom has been given a piece of red gum to work with, and using their own practice and techniques will produce a unique artwork for this exhibition.
Fragments will be an opportunity to see how one material can be presented in several different ways.
The exhibition will be held at the Narrandera Arts and Community Centre, 31 Cadell Street Narrandera, from Monday July 16 to Sunday July 29. An official opening will be held Thursday July 19 from 6:30pm, and an Artist Talk with Hape Kiddle will coincide with the close of the exhibition on Sunday July 29 from 2pm.
Entry is free, donations are welcome.
There are currently several arts and cultural funding opportunities available including Country Arts Support Program (CASP) grants and Regional Arts Fund (RAF) grants.
CASP grants are administered by Regional Arts NSW, via Western Riverina Arts, and are designed to assist arts and community organisations, and local arts councils in regional NSW to fund short-term locally-initiated projects.
