Fifty-five (55) artists from around the country have been shortlisted as finalists for this year’s prestigious Eutick Memorial Still Life Award (EMSLA).

Opening : 6.00- 8.00 pm Saturday 22nd JUNE Artist Talk 12.00 pm Opening Night Performance 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. |
