CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
APRIL 12 - MAY 12, 2024
Hiding in Plain Sight
Saren Dobkins Creamery This collection of 30 years of Saren Dobkins’s work brings together aspects of self-portraiture, in painterly vignettes that reflect facets of personal experience, and self-reflection. Any artist who attempts to capture their thoughts, emotions and perceptions will no doubt find themselves walking a fine line between vulnerability and integrity. These works invite others to share Saren’s moments of awareness and the desire for connection. |

Emergence
Lauren Manser Foyer This collection of landscape and nature photography by South Australian photographer, Lauren Manser features images taken in Tasmania between February and December of 2022. "These works correspond to a highly significant period in Lauren's life. “Working in the mining industry, I felt I had lost connection with my creative self. Through the experience of multi-day hiking and landscape photography, how I perceived my position, purpose, and connection to the world changed. It was during these hikes that I felt truly connected with myself and my surroundings”. This is Lauren’s first solo exhibition as an emerging artist. |

Seeing the Soul Art Prize & Exhibition
Hoofbeats Sanctuary Butterbox This major fundraising exhibition is held in aid of Hoofbeats Sanctuary’s equine therapy and trauma recovery programs. Works in the exhibition depict the relationships and deep bonds that occur between animals and humans, reminding us of the importance of a kind and beneficial human-animal relationship. Cash prizes will be awarded for overall winner, painting/drawing, sculpture/3D and photography categories, as well as people’s choice award. “The sanctuary is home to a herd of ten horses and ponies, most of which have experienced big life stressors in their own lives, making them the perfect teachers. Proceeds from Seeing the Soul exhibition will enable us to train more program facilitators and offer more program places.” Barb Blashki, CEO of Hoofbeats Sanctuary. |

Collage Exposed
Helen Saint-Smith Mezzanine A fun and eclectic collection of Collage works on canvas, stretching from Antartica to Portugal with many stops on the Sunshine Coast. After many years as a Patchwork artist, Helen came to painting late in life. Her art has evolved from attempts at realism to a more preferred geometric style. Collage allows her to turn subject matter into shapes and lines. This new body of work is a lively mix of shapes and colours with many local connections. |
