The Corner Store Gallery profiles the best of established and emerging Australian creatives, with curator Madeline Young seeking out colourful and visually arresting aesthetics in either art or design.
As an artist herself, Madeline pursues opportunities outside of the established Regional Gallery or informal market stall channels to reach new artists, creators, and audiences.
Some very clever artists from the local area will be opening up their home studios to the public between 10am and 4pm.
As a self taught artist, Monique is always searching for fascinating shades and textures to bring into her work and highlight for the viewer.
Her aim is to evoke an emotional experience and a sense of connection through colour and texture.
Submit 3 artworks for consideration - finalists will be exhibited at the gallery in October - the winner will be announced on Opening Night and will receive a rent-free solo exhibition with us in 2024!
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.
