Three exhibitions will open at Tweed Regional Gallery on Friday 29 May as part of the Gallery's 2026 winter program, alongside a curator preview talk, live performance and opening celebrations.
The program brings together the group exhibition Indelible: The Poetry of Decay alongside solo exhibitions by regional artists Antoinette O'Brien and Luke Close (Githabal). Spanning ceramics, painting and multidisciplinary practice, the season reflects on cycles of transformation, connection to place and the enduring presence of memory, culture and material.
Gallery Director Ingrid Hedgcock said the winter program invites audiences to engage deeply with artistic responses to both personal and shared experience.
"Across these exhibitions, artists reveal how beauty, resilience and meaning can emerge through processes of decay, renewal and connection to place," Ms Hedgcock said.
