Retrospect Galleries is thrilled to welcome you inside The Imaginarium. An exhibition of magic and mystery created by five diverse artists (Beth Mitchell, Meghan Byrne, Hilary Herrmann, Elizabeth Primmer and Courtney Brims), who have worked with photography, oil paint, pencil, gouache, glitter and acrylics to manifest their spellbinding and unique worlds of make-believe. The Imaginarium is a magical artistic world of make-believe inhabited by celestial beings, aquatic princesses, fairy folk, magic carpets, and debonair rabbits. Please join us for a glass of wine on Friday April 11 at 6pm for an exquisite and enigmatic journey down Artwork by Courtney Brims the rabbit-hole and into the imaginative machinations of these extraordinary artists. The exhibition runs until 30 April 2014. 52 Jonson St, Byron Bay, 6680 8825, www.retrospectgalleries.com
