Humans characteristically set boundaries around their physical, social, and conceptual environments. In this exhibition, we question the need for those artificial divisions. We chose an area of 50 kms around Stanthorpe as our playground. This rough circle crosses state and local government areas and allowed us to harvest images from the abundance of wild and settled environments.

Earth Air Fire & Water: Creating Art & Documenting Drought, Fire & Covid 19 on the Granite Belt. Our community has experienced so much in the last year from drought to fire and the recent Covid 19. We would love the youth of our community to document their response to this historical time through ART.

An exciting exhibition which brings together the juxtaposed mediums of silk and steel: The beauty and exquisite gowns opposed with the harshness and creativity of metal sculpture. These works provoke and inform the viewer of their own life experiences, personal beliefs and values.

“Why do I paint clouds? I can’t help myself. I feel compelled to capture their fleeting beauty: sometimes frail, sometimes threatening, always beautiful. I love painting approaching rain, and mist. It’s all about the horizon, the big sky and the clouds.” Lorraine Moll

Celebrating our Local artists.

On the Granite Belt, we have lived through many difficult times over the past few years. The severe drought impacted everyone in our community, and then the fires of 2019 devastated large areas of our bushland and many homes. From "leave now" orders to "stay home" instructions during the Covid-19 epidemic, our lives have changed significantly. This project aims to document our experiences through art, writing, poetry, music, and other mediums.

Celebrating our Local artists.

Janne Chew examines a variety of disciplines: Resin on glass and resin on wood makes up a substantial section of the work that explores the freedom of the medium and vibrant colour. To add to this vivid and fluid effect are a section of alcohol inks. Alongside the work in resin are a selection of acrylics on canvas, watercolour and pastel art.

Glass artists Jo Bone and Aaron Micallef have a shared passion for the medium of glass, and complementary aesthetic approaches revolving around pattern, symmetry and intricacy in the natural world. Their glass artwork is crafted using traditional hot-glass (blowing) and cold-working techniques (cutting, engraving, etching) to manipulate form and surface.

Local bush flowers, flickering in the sunlight and scattered across this beautiful and inspirational landscape, are the focus of this series.
