Today to Saturday, April 30

Arts Space Wodonga, in partnership with AlburyCity, is proud to present Albury Abstracts, selected works from the AlburyCity Collection.

Spanning four decades from the 1950s through to the 1980s, these paintings and works on paper showcase fine examples in the representation of abstract art in Australia.

Albury Abstracts is a varied yet surprising selection from the AlburyCity collection, allowing a glimpse of how abstraction in its many forms was received and acquired within a regional area.

It gives reference to Australia’s art history of abstract art, moving from figurative modernism to geometric abstractionism and then to colour field during the 1960s through to the 1980s.

The String Contingent have hired arts Space Wodonga for a performance this April. Renowned acoustic chamber-folk trio The String Contingent are touring Australia through April 2015 in support of their new album, Facets.

Australians Chris Stone (violin) and Holly Downes (double bass), with Scotsman Graham McLeod (guitar).

The String Contingent’s sound combines diverse musical backgrounds in Celtic folk, classical, jazz and contemporary into melodic, evocative, exciting and poignant musical discussions, or ‘trialogues’.

Time: 7.30pm
