BUNDANON BIG DRAW: 18 JANUARY

BUNDANON BIG DRAW: 18 JANUARY

Arthur Boyd put the Shoalhaven on the international map with his stunning depictions of its river and the surrounding bush. This summer on Sunday 18 January, Bundanon Trust is launching the Bundanon Big Draw, following a world-wide trend to encourage the public to put everything aside and draw for a day.

Come along with all the family and help create the longest drawing in the Shoalhaven as paper is rolled down the River Walk from the Bundanon Homestead. Will we make it all the way? We can, with your participation. We will provide the materials for the big drawing and we will be on hand to support your efforts. A fun activity for all ages and abilities!

The Bundanon Homestead and Arthur Boyd’s Studio are open every Sunday (plus Saturdays throughout January)! Take a bushwalk or a guided tour. Bring a picnic lunch, tea and coffee will be available. See Rosemary Laing’s exhibition, The Paper in the Upstairs Gallery.

TOURING - ARTHUR BOYD: AN ACTIVE WITNESS

The exhibition opens at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on 5 December and will be on show until 15 February 2015.

Bundanon's current touring exhibition is the first to consider the social consciousness that infused Arthur Boyd's life and art. This exhibition explores the ways in which Boyd, as a clear-eyed witness to his times, wove into his paintings his personal responses to the ethical challenges facing the world.
