Artist David Griggs takes our everyday experiences, turning them around to reveal cracks to exhume the raw undercurrent of society. Griggs focuses on political images, local histories and personal experiences. The exhibition is on show at the Griffith Regional Gallery and continues until April 22.

Berton Vineyard Cellar Door

Recognising the value in the local artists and produce is something that Berton Vineyard has been looking to display for the past several years. Over the Easter long weekend they will be displaying four talented local artists and offering their work for sale: Molly Burgess, Patrick Napoli, Margaret Rossiter and Brad Wilson. This is the first time Molly's work will be on display at Berton's, gracing the walls alongside the others whose art is back by popular demand. The art on display offers a point of difference for the weekend's events, with all profits from sales going directly back to the artist themselves. Cellar Door manager Cherie Burton said it was a great chance to showcase the talent in the area.
