This workshop will help artists gain a better understanding of the elements and principles of art and design to create their own collage artwork. The workshop includes a creation station of magazines, paper, and craft bits to inspire youth in making collage postcards. The workshop will have a focus on what makes a work of art successful – the importance of colour coordinating, what shapes and pieces work well together, and why that’s important.
Upstream’ an exhibition by Jason Bomers. A multidisciplinary artist, Jason will be staging a takeover of both the Second and Third Floor Hallway galleries with his visually arresting works.
At Gladstone House, check out It Starts with a Photograph, four exhibitions and installations by six artists who use photographs as the starting point for experimentation and reinterpretation. In the Art Studio, meet the hotel’s resident artists. @theodore.walkerrobinson weaves on a heddle loom, @makhism creates large drawings inspired by Persian miniature painting and @dalin_dal combines textiles and technology.
