Re-Gathering
Benalla Art Gallery - Partnership
18 December 2020 - 20 June 2021
Featuring figurative and portrait-based works from both the Benalla Art Gallery Collection and RACV Art Collection, Re-gathering provided a framework through which the community can explore its individual and collective experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The works selected are re-contextualised through the inclusion of our community’s voice, their first-hand thoughts, emotions, experiences.
This exhibition was presented in partnership with Benalla Art Gallery and MPavilion as part of the AMPLIFY program. Curated by Ellen Wignell, Curator RACV & Eric Nash, Director Benalla Art Gallery
Past Events
Resilience Panel Discussion
17 Jan, 1:30-2:30pm

Mindful Making with Anna Farago
15 May, 9:30-11:30am
Sit amongst the exhibition and mindfully and slowly hand stitch a felt coaster reflecting on the year that 2020 was, during lockdown with artist Anna Farago. Enjoy the repetitive and meditative rhythm of sewing a pattern, image or word that can be taken as a reminder of the need to slow down, taking time to have a cuppa and chat
