Sun in a suitcase

It can’t be the most portable of works for Bathurst Regional Gallery’s Art in a Suitcase travelling exhibition, but we are delighted that Ian’s work ‘Sundisk’ has been part of their project to make art accessible to young people across the Bathurst Region.

We at BRAG are passionate about bringing young people into contact with “the real thing”, and supporting artists from our region in the process. The result is Art in a Suitcase – seven sculptures by seven regional artists, delivered direct to regional schools.

The seven artists are Lionel Bawden, Mary Douglas, Ian Marr, Christine MacMillan, Paddy Robinson, Hui Selwood and Valerie Stuart.

It's good when people stroke the work!

A historical and contemporary look at Orange’s gardens, ‘Orange Blossoms’, was opened today by today’s Mayor, who made some strong commitments to making progress towards a museum for Orange, and Trisha Dixon. Gallery One was looking beautiful and full of gardeners and others of all ages.

From the gallery website:
September 19 to November 1: The history of gardens and garden art and design in Orange district, including relevant socioeconomic facts and Garden Gnomes. Funded by ArtsNSW, a major cross-disciplinary exhibition.

On the weekend of 22-23 August I’m looking forward to seeing Ian’s paintings and inscriptions at Holmwood Gallery at 26 Queen Street Woollahra, as part of the extended Taste Orange events in Sydney.

More details of the other partners at the Holmwoods’ Taste Orange event are listed on this page:

The stone work should look lovely in that courtyard.

And I do like Angullong Wines!

A lamplit tour of the Rookwood sculpture walk tonight after kind interest in the works from the ABC’s Andrew Frost.

The whole ‘Hidden‘ exhibition is more than atmospheric!
