Maker Space - Creative Collages

Drop into Bathurst Regional Art Gallery during opening hours to get creative with collage. Explore additional exhibition resources in their Maker Space and create your own collage. About the Exhibition: Bathurst Regional Art Gallery dives deep into the permanent collection to present new exhibition, Wonderful Wonderful: Scenes from the Collection. Exuberant, humorous, and deadly serious, the exhibition moves across time, place, histories and artistic genre to offer fresh ways of experiencing an extravaganza of artistic riches – the BRAG Collection. Roaming cultural, social and political history, the exhibition comprises a suite of monumental ‘collage’ scenes, where disparate artworks are juxtaposed to form conversational tableaux. What might seem random and unrelated, becomes coherent, incisive and intriguing. Variously, each scene offers whispers to your thoughts, a laugh in your belly, and the occasional slap in the face. Presenting nearly 200 artworks collected over the last seventy years, Wonderful Wonderful: Scenes from the Collection features a rollcall of celebrated Australian artists, including Harold Cazneaux, John Coburn, Peter Cooley, Grace Cossington Smith, Reg Campbell, Karla Dickens, Leonard French, Marea Gazzard, Frank Hinder, Margel Hinder, Locust Jones, Graham Lupp, Francis Lymburner, Roy de Maistre, Mandy Martin, Lloyd Rees, Joan Ross, Eugenie Solonov and Roland Wakelin.
