@ the Art Gallery

West of Central - 1 July to 27 August

Home to an increasing cohort of contemporary artists and creatives seeking connection, respite, and balance, regional Australia is a place where artists have space to create,

experiment, respond and challenge.

This exhibition showcases the work of 16 regionally based artists who choose to make work on Wiradjuri Country in the Central Tablelands of NSW. Of primary concern is the impact of man-made and climactic events on the ecologies and landscape of the region.
