NORTHERN Rivers Community Gallery will host a series of public programs from February to April, offering artist talks and workshops alongside current exhibitions.<\/p>\n
The program will run across the gallery and Ignite Studios creative precinct, with a mix of free and ticketed events.<\/p>\n
Activities include painting, mixed media and zine making, with sessions led by exhibiting artists and creative practitioners.<\/p>\n
Gallery coordinator Imbi Davidson said the program was designed to give audiences direct access to artists and their work.<\/p>\n
\u201cNRCG\u2019s upcoming public programs offer meaningful opportunities for audiences to connect directly with the ideas, processes and practices of our exhibiting artists,\u201d Davidson said.<\/p>\n
The program will open on February 21 with a free artist talk by visual artist and curator Linsey Gosper at the gallery.<\/p>\n
Gosper will discuss her practice, which explores the intersection of art and magic, in conversation with Davidson, alongside her exhibition Temporal Collapse, on display until March 1.<\/p>\n
A painting workshop led by exhibiting artist Jacqueline Scotcher will follow on February 28 at Ignite Studios.<\/p>\n
The workshop, titled Abstract Rhythms, will guide participants through abstract drawing and acrylic painting techniques and includes a tour of Scotcher\u2019s exhibition Boundary Rider.<\/p>\n
In March, Brisbane-based multidisciplinary artist Eliza Adam will present a mixed media workshop exploring mark making, repetition and layering.<\/p>\n
The session will coincide with Adam\u2019s exhibition A Light Hold, which is on display at the gallery until March 1.<\/p>\n
The program will conclude in April with a zine-making workshop led by Northern Rivers-based academic and artist Darren Bryant.<\/p>\n
The one-day workshop will focus on self-publishing techniques, with Bryant\u2019s exhibition The Time Traveller\u2019s Manual running at the gallery from March 5 to April 26.<\/p>\n
Most workshops require bookings and fees, while the opening artist talk is free to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
