REALM
Art Exhibition and CD Launch

The Tender Funerals REALM artists-in-residence project has given families the opportunity to work with our artists and musicians to create a ceremony, an artwork or a personal commemoration of their person. Whether through music and song, stitching or installation, each of these interactions was unique.

As part of REALM, Tender Community Choir was formed under the guidance of renowned local musicians Jodi Phillis and Malika Reese. The choir meet fortnightly and have been singing at events in the Illawarra, recently at Wollongong Memorial Gardens Mother’s Day gathering. The choir will perform and launch their CD of songs on love and remembering.

The Tender Cloths project, coordinated by Michele Elliot, will feature in the exhibition. These ephemeral fabric works have been made with donated funeral flowers from Tender families. After the exhibition, the cloths will go to Tender to be used as part of their mortuary care. In addition, Michele is also exhibiting artworks developed during the time of her Tender residency, on the theme of cloth, memory and loss.

KEIRABALD
Keira High School Annual Exhibition

coordinated by
Karen Mors 


School students of the Illawarra
​showcasing inspirational creativity and talent.



The Keirabald Prize is an annual exhibition that emulates the
Archibald Prize and generally runs about the same time.
Unlike the Archibald, however, the Keirabald has a theme each year.
The broad interpretation of what this could mean
in terms of a portrait is both delightful and inventive. ​​
