Join us after for the opening celebration for CONVERGENCE: Regional Perspectives, Saturday 26 July, from 2-4pm.

CONVERGENCE features artists from outside major cities and who face barriers to opportunities because of where they live.

The exhibition brings together seven distinctive voices from five regional studios in Victoria and Albury-Wodonga. Their different perspectives offer fresh insights into contemporary themes and experiences.

Artists featured include Helen Butcher and Jess Madden (ArtGusto), Stella Childs (The Art Factory Albury), Housecat (Find Your Voice Collective), Stephen Hancock and Alex McKenzie (Artmania), and George Macaronis (Studio 92).
