Art & Photos On Show in Muswellbrook

Come along and be inspired by viewing one of the current exhibitions at the Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre. These exhibitions will be on show up until the   23 October 2011

Eutick Memorial Still Life Award 2010
This is a touring exhibition from the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery. The Eutick Memorial Still Life Award (EMSLA) 2010 is an exhibition of still life  art works. The EMSLA is fast becoming the Archibald Prize of still life painting. The EMSLA, with prize money of $15,000, has attracted entries from across Australia and from across the world with many different and challenging approaches to the tradition of still life painting. This is an exhibition with something for everyone        

Nearground Rearground: Muswellbrook And Districts Camera Club
This exhibition features the photos of members of the Muswellbrook & Districts Camera Club in an exhibition that presents contemporary local photography as a gateway to creative expression. The subject of the exhibition is not a place or an object but the exploration of the technical photographic tool known as ‘depth of field’ as well as the philosophical investigation of what this might mean in visual terms. The approach of the artists is as varied as photography can get and the exhibition is a rewarding experience for the viewer.

Davson: Turning Points, Sharon Davson on Paper
Works from this exhibition have been donated by the artist to the Muswellbrook Shire Art Collection.     

50+ The Lure of the Four Elements
The Lure of the Four Elements is a themed exhibition based on the second chapter of the book on the Arts Centre’s collections Fifty Plus: Half a century of collecting at Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre by Katrina Rumley. It is a selection of works from the collections that illuminate the variety of approaches that the artist may take when confronting the four elements that the ancients believed make up the material world: earth, wind, fire & water. This exhibition features works by renowned Australian artists such as Marion Borgelt, James Clifford, Janet Laurence, William Peascod, Henry Salkauskas & Michael Taylor.

The Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre is located on the corner of Bridge and William Streets in Muswellbrook NSW Australia. The opening hours are Tuesday to Friday 10.00am – 5.00pmand Weekends 10.00am – 1.00pm
