2 Men Drawing
Peter Mills and Bruce Harvey have used their contrasting drawing skills to record people in many aspects of life – one carefully worked full of fascinating detail and always complete; the other sketched quickly with flowing lines and often incomplete - always together as ‘2 men drawing.’
This exhibition consists of drawings of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) in rehearsal, to be opened by Barry Jones and with proceeds going to the MSO Friends.

there is something I need to tell you Janice Appleton
Art reflects life in this re-invented bedroom installation about personal transformation; the embodiment of a ten year journey undertaken with my life partner who made the ultimate decision to transgender from male to female.
Through my artwork, I acknowledge and celebrate diversity.

Nordic Ecology: Steps into the North
Curated by Yenny Huber and Sarah Rainbird, this exhibition is a unique opportunity to see an outstanding selection of works by young and established artists from Norway.
Also included in the exhibition are field recordings from Nepal by musician Geir Jenssen. The delicate sounds of this work create a politically charged listening experience, exploring questions of internationalism and global ecology.
All artists have kindly donated their work with all the proceeds from the sale of works going towards the establishment of a unique cross-cultural exchange program for young artists and musicians from Indigenous communities in Australia and Norway.
