‘Stewart Indigenous Art’ by Barbara and Leslie Stewart (First Gallery)

Barbara and Les Stewart are local Wondai Aboriginal artists. Les started learning the craft in Cherbourg where he was born and raised from the age of 10 with his grandfather modelling the artistry. Les has since passed this knowledge onto the next generation via his daughter, Barbara. The Stewart Indigenous Art exhibition is collaborative pieces of Aboriginal art combining traditional teachings and vibrant contemporary styles. The art depicts strong connections to land and cultural stories passed through generations.

‘Vision and Verse’ by John Dalton (Main Gallery)

A collection of over 50 photos, and the quotes, lyrics and verses that they might suggest. A photo can tell a story, record history, prompt an emotion or a laugh, or perhaps just be joyful or beautiful. When linked to a thoughtful quote, a well-known lyric or an historical verse, the interpretation of that photo can change or be enhanced, and this invites the viewer to return to the photo for more extended consideration. This is the process that this exhibition invites the viewer into: look at the photo, consider the verse, and then re-consider the photo.

‘A Few of My Favourite Things’ by Ina Patterson (Third Gallery)

Ina’s exhibition is a personal journey through her favourite things from beloved animals to meaningful symbols. Each piece tells a story, reflecting comfort, creativity and connection. Ina is not asking for money for sale of paintings. Instead she is asking the buyer to “pay it forward” by making a donation to their favourite charity, children’s sporting club, or make a gift of kindness to someone you know who is doing it tough eg. meal perhaps at the pub etc. Art is a powerful medium and she hopes her art makes a difference to a lot of people.
