CUSP returns to Sydney

We've been busy getting our first exhibition ready for the year with some of the highlights from CUSP: Designing into the Next Decade returning to Sydney this week. Following a bumper two-year tour, the exhibition brings back the works of Leah Heiss, Stephen Mushin, Greg More, Floyd Mueller and Super Critical Mass, showing until 28 April (Tuesday - Friday, 11-4pm). The exhibition will be officially opened by the Minister for Industry, Resources and Energy, The Hon Anthony Roberts MP, on Thursday 18 February 2016.
 
 

Pop-Up Program 

Emotional intelligence pioneers The School of Life will be returning to Sydney and we're very pleased to be holding their Pop Up Term program of events, workshops and salons at our gallery between 28 February - 23 March. The program includes core classes on love, life, relationships, work and death, special events on the art of conversation and storytelling as therapy, and a unique Philosophy Salon. But be quick - tickets are selling fast if not already sold out!
