WARMING UP - Environmental impacts in our world

17 July – 15 August 2010

Over 35 artists from North East Victoria will exhibit a range of works including photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking and textiles at the Wangaratta exhibitions Gallery WORKSHOP SPACE from 17 July - 15 August 2010.

A theme that is of great current interest, the exhibition provides insights into the anxieties shared by many as we witness the continuing degradation of the landscape and the social and political tensions that continue to abound across the world. The exhibition provides an opportunity for discussion and debate and the possibility to initiate change that many now agree is long overdue.

Dianne Mangan, Gallery Director, will officially open the exhibition on Friday 16th July at 5.30pm for 6pm.

A Public Program will be held on Saturday 31 July 1.30 – 4pm with 2 guest speakers: Guy Abrahams will speak about "Climate Change, Sustainability and the Arts" and artist Susan Purdy will make a presentation on her commissioned work made for the Tarrawarra Museum, in response to the 2009 bushfires in Victoria.
