Home Sweet Home
Members of Blue Knob, Roxy & Serpentine galleries - Home Sweet Home
3rd AUGUST 2012: Opening of
Home Sweet Home
on Friday at 6pm.
Home Sweet Home
is a collective exhibition
which explores
the feeling of Home.
Based in the beautiful Northern Rivers,
three galleries have got together
to bring to the public
an exhibition by members of
and the Serpentine.
After twelve months of discussion and planning, they are proud to present Home Sweet Home.
Whether human, bird or animal, home is where the heart/hearth is.
With artists involved from three local but different areas, we look forward to an interesting and
stimulating exhibition with some heartfelt and creative interpretations of the theme.
We live in such a lovely region, a place many of us have chosen to call home,
and this exhibition aims to celebrate that which is 'Home' in all its forms.
A first for the three galleries,
Home Sweet Home
is a show which highlights,
and will strengthen,
the fantastic networks
between our local Northern Rivers galleries,
and the cooperation experienced
in our local arts community.
Here's to continuing to build
a strong and diverse arts community
in our beautiful region.
The exhibition will travel out to Blue Knob,
opening there at 6.30pm
on Friday the 31st August,
and be on view until
the 21st of October 2012.
Family friendly events. Light refreshments will be available.
