Exhibition - ‘Beneath Australian Skies’

Celebrate Grampians artist Ros McArthur at the official opening of her exhibition ‘Beneath Australian Skies’ at the Naracoorte Regional Art Gallery at 6pm on Friday 6th June.

In her own words, Ros says: ‘The texture of the bark, the grace of the red gums, animal tracks, a rose from my garden, the movement of water, colours and tones of rock escarpments, huge happy clouds, firestorms and vistas of mountains and valleys all contain their own beauty.’

The gallery is open Wednesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 3pm, subject to volunteers.
