New Logan works head for national portrait gallery
The National Portrait Gallery of Australia has worked with Logan Art Gallery, Logan based artists and community members to co-design a special new exhibition now on display in the City of Logan.
Thread: Connecting stories and community, which traces the relationships between garments and the histories, labour and knowledge systems of First Nations people, will be officially opened from 5.30pm on Friday, May 1 at Logan Art Gallery.
Through a pilot project, local artists, creatives and community members were last year invited to be part of a series of consultative workshops to develop the exhibition.
The Logan exhibition is the first step in a journey for four local artists which will lead to their works being exhibited nationally at the Canberra gallery from Saturday, July 4.
Thread will be on display in Logan until Saturday, June 13.
Logan Art Gallery is open from 10am to 4pm between Tuesday and Saturday and entry is free.

Brush up on your bird ID skills
An upcoming free community event will give participants the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in identifying the unique features and habitat of the Glossy black cockatoo.
Running from 9.30am to 11am on Saturday, May 9 in Munruben's Wearing Park, the guided walk and talk will provide information on how to locate and identify Glossy black cockatoos in the wild.

The event will help people gain valuable identification skills ahead of the annual nationwide Great Glossy Count which will run from May 16 to 17 this year.
Delivered by Birdlife Australia across the south-eastern areas of the bird's habitat, this citizen science event allows the community to help survey the species and contribute to important conservation efforts.
