GALLERY TALK Only a few more weeks to see MPRG’s Autumn exhibitions, The Overwintering Project: Western Port, Tai Snaith’s – A world of One’s Own and Lauren Guymer – Among the Trees. These exhibitions close on Sunday 23 May. MPRG is thrilled to launch a new initiative MPRG Connect! MPRG Connect serves to enhance the relationship between the Gallery and our local Mornington Peninsula based visual artists, with the project providing time, space, mentorship and support to our creative communities. Along with our ongoing local focus series of exhibitions, MPRG Connect seeks to promote awareness and appreciation for the Peninsula’s local talent. Each week, via Instagram, we celebrate a local artist via an artist spotlight. We then ask each of these featured artists to put forward a fellow Mornington Peninsula artist, allowing the network to organically curate its own growth. Local artists Baden Croft and Steph Bolt are the first two artists featured in this program. We have a fascinating talk coming up with Overwintering Project exhibition curator Kate Gorringe-Smith and Mornington Peninsula Shire Councillor David Gill on World Bee Day (Thursday 20 May). This talk called The Birds and the Bees will be a special discussion on the curious and
extraordinarily important lives of both the birds and the bees. Bookings essential for this event via our website. We also have a new free online ecoprinting workshop by Kate Gorringe-Smith that you can watch from the comfort of home. In this online workshop Kate guides you through three examples of Eco printing using gathered leaves and plant material from your garden and home. You can follow the step-by-step process to make an eco-printed concertina book and two eco printed panels using cotton wrap paper, string, a garden stick, and a tin can. You can buy an MPRG art materials box from the gallery that has many of the required items or feel free to gather your own from the materials listed in the box. This is another way we are making art accessible to our community. And a reminder that entry to the Gallery is now free. You can check out our online programs, listen to a podcast or buy an MPRG art materials box on our website mprg.mornpenvic.gov.au. MPRG Gallery Director Danny Lacy
