21.01.2022 Norman Lindsay’s affinity with cats began when a neighbour gifted him two handsome white felines.

Thereafter, he always had a few special ‘studio cats' From 3 December, our fun exhibition at Norman Lindsay Gallery features the artist’s Springwood cats in all their colourful glory. See pencil studies, original watercolours, etchings and pen drawings, plus photographs of the cats with the artist. Find out more and book tickets here https://bit.ly/36zBkrH

07.01.2022 In Parramatta Square there is currently a #storybox featuring a portrait of Brian Powyer by Brad Robson. It's been a year since we lost our very beloved President and he was one of New South Wales' greatest advocates for heritage. He loved it - all of it. He loved teaching people about it, sharing the story of history and speaking up to protect the irreplaceable places that matter most to our community. This was especially true of #Parramatta. We miss you Brian. Thank you for everything you did for heritage in New South Wales.
