Whilst the Central Goldfields Art Gallery is currently closed for redevelopment, the Gallery team continue to provide a fantastic program of events to keep community and visitors connected to the arts.
Monthly coffee morning
The Gallery team will launch a new monthly coffee morning art talk series on Wednesday 2 March from 10.30am to 11.30am.
This new event will be a great chance to hear interesting speakers, ask questions, enjoy morning tea and meet a variety of community members in a friendly atmosphere.
Central Goldfields Art Gallery Coordinator Helen Kaptein will be the first guest speaker in the series and will present - Central Goldfields Art Gallery – past, present and future.
Have you ever wondered what the land was like before a fire station was built on the current site of the Gallery? What is the purpose and possibilities of the Gallery? What will the Gallery look like when it is scheduled to reopen in September after redevelopment and what will this mean for the community? This will be an illustrated talk with images and information about some of the strengths of the collection from Arthur Boyd through to contemporary work by Dja Dja Wurrung Elder, Aunty Marilyne Nicholls.
The first session will be held in the Maryborough Resource Centre Atrium (next to the Maryborough Library) on the corner of Alma and Nolan Streets, Maryborough.
The program is being delivered in partnership with Maryborough U3A Inc. and the event is open to everyone. An exciting forward program of speakers includes the Curator of the forthcoming Elvis: Direct from Graceland exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery at the coffee morning on 6 April.
Entry - gold coin donation.
