Three exhibitions grace the walls of the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre after the gallery opened last Friday at a launch for a restricted number of guests.After a three-month shutdown due to Covid-19 restrictions the gallery now boasts a collection of paintings, timber and ceramics and a touring exhibition from the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA).
GOMA’s physical video installation explores various aspects of body language.
In the Foyer is a collection of paintings by Cooran artist Lew Brennan.
While the gallery’s Butter Box room showcases timber and ceramic works from three artists.
The gallery’s assistant coordinator Lauren Jones said the ceramic works were conveniently located adjacent the pottery studio to inspire potters who use the popular studio.
Lauren said during July the gallery would have artist in residence Julie Tulloch.
The artist uses a mix of material from fabric to photography and visitors will be able to see Julie Tulloch at work.
The Pomona Railway Station Gallery has also opened its doors.
The Gallery’s Wendy Catlin said the gallery was “chock full of beautiful creative works by local artists“.
“Paintings, sculpture, ceramics, wood, textile, jewelery and much more await your visit to these historical train station buildings,“ she said.
An exhibition marking a collaboration of artists displaying works done while in isolation titled “Lockdown Art“ will be on display until the end of July. Visitors can also see resident artists Dan Truscott in the Banana Shed and Jae Moore in the Blacksmith Shed at work.
Art Markets will resume as government regulations permit.
