25.01.2022 'Nature and Nurture' is an upcoming exhibition by Ida Killigrew. In this exhibition the artist's aim is to illustrate, in a colourful, lighthearted and sometimes whimsical way aspects of life which are of underlying importance to most of humanity, that is our connection to the environment (nature), and our interactions with other people (nurture). The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday 19 October - 4 November.

25.01.2022 Currently installing Sheryl Chant’s exhibition ‘Head Space’, that will be open to view from 28 September - 14 October. Head Space is an exhibition celebrating WA Mental Health Week 2020.

Creating with clay enables Sheryl to smile at her worries. There are still some spaces in her Obvara firing workshops happening this weekend - see the Events page for details. @sherylchantartist @mentalhealthweekwa #strongertogether
