How did we honour and commemorate persons and events of prominence or importance
before the humble certificate? Illuminated addresses were once a popular way and an
important element to celebrate achievements and to thank individuals for their contribution
to an organisation. Beautifully handwritten and adorned with ornate illustrations depicting
the recipient’s history. Come and view examples of the artistry of the illuminated addresses
with Kim Bagot-Hiller and hear about the art form, the people who were honoured, and
the events they commemorate. A temporary exhibition will run in the month of May. Light
refreshments available.
The What’s On calendar covers arts and heritage events happening across the NSW Central West in the local government areas of Bathurst Region, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra, Forbes, Lachlan, Lithgow, Mid-Western Region, Oberon, Orange, Parkes and Weddin.
