25.01.2022 The September AMBO Long Table Dinner welcomed new guests and those who always turn up and those whom we haven't seen for a while. Great to see you all, hear your stories and sample your wonderful food we shared. Covid 19 plan was followed, as well as lots of interesting information and laughter. All this with the stunning backdrop of Jo Williams' exhibition (until 2 Ocotober - come and enjoy the experience if you haven't yet). There are two more ALTD in 2020 (16th of October and November) - then we return on 16 February 2021. The AMBO's new giftshop filled with local artists' creations is open - a great opportunity to purchase and give something original and meaningful this Christmas. Stay connected, keep well!

Gallery Hours: 10am - 3pm Monday to Saturday ‘Time Dilator’ is a series of new works on paper by Brisbane based artist Samuel Tupou. The work considers our personal and geographical relationship with the physical planes of space and time.

Of Tongan and Polynesian heritage Tupou’s recent works draw inspiration from mathematical geometry and 80’s video game imagery as well as Pacific Island Tapa cloth design and fine mat weaving. #australiancontemporaryart #oldambulancestationnambour #oldambogalleries #nambour #sunshinecoasthinterland #SCAIP #artspaces #creativespaces #lithographs #screenprints #samueltupou #samueltupoutimedilator

17.01.2022 FLUORESCENT An Emergency Festival of Original TheatreThe Black Box Theatre Old Ambulance Station Nambour 9-12 December 2020... tickets: ladylongdrop.com Diverse in style, the works presented in FLUORESCENT are threaded together on themes of identity and place, exploring interfaces between deeply personal experience and the traumas and neuroses of nations. The works showcase, CONSTRUCTION SIGHT and YAY FOR CANE TOADS! CONSTRUCTION SIGHT A selection of three short, freshly made works. HE, by Salvadorian-Australian theatre practitioner Rodrigo Calderón is a reckoning with the waters of troubled masculinity in a sleepy coastal town, on one side of the Pacific or another. UNEARTHED from First Nations (US) queer visionary and drag artist Lindsey Stillwell is a story told to her infant daughter of their escape from violence, and the creation of their new life together. SAME GOD LAST NIGHT from Nambour born William Foley is his debut as a playwright a brave and poetic coming out, in more ways than one. YAY FOR CANE TOADS! An immersive tea party experience that get’s stuck into that pantry full of stale, unfinished business, pulls out a desiccated rat and some sugar. Locally grown writer and theatre maker Kendra Keller (aka Lady Longdrop) is a whitefella wrestling it out with deep-tissue questions around colonial-capitalist barbarity, normalcy, amnesia and arrival. She brings this award winning work home for its Qld premiere. Ticketing for FLUORESCENT is based on ‘your hourly rate of pay’, that is maximising accessibility whilst striving to pay artists as much as other workers who wear florescent. Choose to pay $48.50, $28.50, $18.50 or $13.50. Bookings for all shows and events are essential. Everyone is welcome. Wear your masks, and your hi-vis, or whatever, or nothing. Express yourself! We look forward to seeing you there. Created and performed on the unceded lands of the Kabi Kabi peoples.
