TWEED RIVER ART GALLERY
There are seven amazing exhibitions on show now at the Tweed River Art Gallery, Murwillumbah. The Glass: Michael Zavros showcasing the work of one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists. The paintings, sculpture and multi-media work assembled in The Glass span the breadth of Zavros’s work over a 14-year period, specifically investigating the artist’s interpretation of reflection. The Glass explores the meaning of Zavros’s work and challenges our interpretation of his hyper-realistic practice.

Join Michael Zavros on Saturday 28 July in the gallery foyer between 11.00am and 1.00pm for a still life drawing session featuring objects drawn from his own cabinet of curiosities.

LISMORE REGIONAL GALLERY
Survivor is a major art project by Indonesian-Australian artist Dadang Christanto. Initially developed in 2008 as a live protest against an environmental disaster that occurred in East Java, which saw hot volcanic mud wipe out 11 villages and destroy many lives, Survivor has since migrated beyond cultural borders, evolving into a universal, multi-faceted reflection upon human survival and what it means to endure tragic historical events, loss and death. Bananas, Business & Bocce: The Lismore Italians, curated by Leonie Lane, will tell the stories of people who journeyed from Italy to Lismore to make a new life for themselves and their families. It will reflect the heritage of the Italian community in Lismore and draw from historical collections, photographs and personal memories. Palate at the Gallery.
