SUMMARY:Term 1 2026 | Wednesday Art Class with Kerry Gulliver
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the stimulus of doing art in a group. \nWhile individual guidance comprises the main bulk of the class\, I will also be doing regular demonstrations on anything related to painting and drawing\, such as collage\, paint transfer\, frottage\, sgraffito\, dry brushing\, stencilling\, and more. If you are new to art I can help you get started on the basics\, such as looking at line\, colour\, perspective. \nYou are welcome to join the class no matter what your skill levels are. If you are unsure of the how to begin\, just turn up on the first day and I can help determine the best approach for you. \nThe class is quite casual\, with many of the ongoing students working on their own projects\, taking guidance as needed. \nKerry Gulliver is a skilled artist and educator who has exhibited regularly in Armidale\, Sydney\, and Tamworth. She has trained in visual arts\, animation\, colour theory\, and graphic design; she works regularly with community and other groups to run a range of art courses. \nDates |  Wednesday January 28  – Wednesday  April 1 (10 weeks)  \n\nTime | 10:00am – 3:00pm \nVenue | Packsaddle Studio (located at the rear of NERAM ) \nCost |  Friends of NERAM/Culture Club Members – $329\, General – $362 \nMaterials | BYO – please see below for a list of recommended supplies \nMin 10/Max 18 \n \n\n  \nFor more information please email foh@neram.dev.nucleoserver.com \nImage | Courtesy of Kerry Gulliver \n\nMaterials required for class:\n\nBring any reference material that inspires you\, whether photographic\, or of other artwork.

If you like to draw bring Cartridge paper (A3 or A4 size)\, pencils in a range of hardness (but more in the soft range)\, rubbers\, crayons\, coloured pencils and any other materials that you like to work with. \nFor painting\, acrylic paint is the most practical (some people are using oils or watercolours).

SUMMARY:Workshop: Stitching Signs for Future Living
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Rae Haynes at NERAM for a hands-on creative session inspired by their series Signs for Future Living on show as part of the exhibition How To Weather Together. 10 Signs for Future Living draws together 10 feminist protest slogans\, interweaving demands for climate\, gender and social justice – all fundamental to the state of future living.\n\n\nIn this workshop\, you’ll transform threads\, fabric scraps and leftover materials through embroidery\, cross-stitch and applique techniques into bold Feminist Badges and Banners\, complete with text to make your message loud and proud. DIY badges and banners have long been a powerful tool in feminist activism as portable statements of identity\, solidarity\, and protest. Wear yours as a personal declaration or share it with someone who needs encouragement or empowerment.\n\n\nNo experience is needed and all materials are provided— just bring your curiosity and love for making. Let’s stitch\, subvert\, and celebrate feminist voices together.\n\n\nWorkshop is free but spaces are limited and bookings essential.

SUMMARY:Closing weekend of How to weather together
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 31st January from 10.30am-1pm  \nMAZDA Gallery \nSpend Saturday morning in the gallery reading\, discuss and maybe even write some poetry around the topic of weathering. As part of the closing weekend of How to weather together\, the curator Jennifer Hamilton is hosting a poetry gathering for poetry readers and writers. The general topic for the gathering is “weathering” broadly understood. Weathering can be literal\, very metaphorical or a combination of the two. \nBring a poem or two to read and discuss. You also might want to branch out to think about climate/climate change and environmental crisis. Poems can be from any time in history; authored by yourself or another. Even if the connection to weather/weathering is extremely tangential the poem is welcome. Being able to read the poem and share the connection with the theme in discussion is the purpose. \nIf we run out of things to talk about we will practice “Close Meteorology” together and generate some found poetry out of our observations. \n  \nFREE EVENT \nREGISTRATION ESSENTIAL

DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-conversation between exhibiting artist Rowen Matthews and NERAM Director Rachael Parsons as they discuss Matthews stunning exhibition Water. \nThrough his luminous and meditative paintings\, Rowen Matthews explores the distinctive landscapes of the New England highlands through the elemental theme of water. Focusing on the region’s many dams—iconic features that shape both ecology and imagination—Matthews reflects on how these bodies of water hold memory\, sustain life\, and mirror shifting skies. His work captures the delicate interplay between environment\, identity and belonging\, shaped by more than three decades of living and working in Armidale. Water is both an artistic and personal journey\, offering a contemplative view of landscape as a site of renewal\, reflection and deep connection. \n\n \nImage: Rowen Matthews\, Water (exhibition view)\, 2025.

SUMMARY:NADIGA (at the Armidale Showground)
DESCRIPTION:NADIGA means walk in Anaiwan. It is also the title of a day-long exhibition by Anaiwan artist Gabi Briggs at the Armidale Showground. The notion that walking Country is a form of knowledge-regeneration underpins three works: GEDYURA\, TENYA\, and ARKAN & IRBELA. These have only ever been shown in Melbourne on Wurundjeri Country and as such\, their journey to Armidale can be understood as a return home. This exhibition forms a key component of her PhD research. \nIn Gabi’s research\, walking and the artworks that emerge from it are inseparable. The works grow from the movement\, listening\, and remembering that happen while walking on Country. This approach is grounded in her grandmother Patsy Cohen’s book\, Ingelba and the Five Black Matriarchs (1990)\, where walking emerges as a cultural practice and research methodology. Gabi extends this lineage in her own practice– through walking\, rearticulating and continuing her nan’s work in embodied\, relational ways. \nThe Armidale showground is entwined with this history of movement. Ingelba was once positioned in relation to the broader world through the walk to the Armidale Show. Under colonial control their movement became restricted\, with authorities able to order the removal of Aboriginal people from towns. Now the Showground is being returned to Ingelba’s relational frame through the artworks\, the gathering\, and the planned walk that will culminate here. \nNADIGA forms part of a longer project – to eventually walk Country with kin\, particularly the 100km path from the former Ingelba Aboriginal Reserve to the Armidale showground. As such\, NADIGA brings family together to prepare for the journey\, to deepen a shared understanding that movement across Country is an ongoing cultural practice\, and a mode of knowledge-making that persists despite colonial interruption. \n  \nImage: Poster designed by Marilena Hewitt

In partnership with NERAM’s exhibition Echoes of the Earth: Tribal and Desert Art\, the Foundation has collaborated directly with the museum to bring these artists’ voices and works to an Australian audience. \nUnder the Gondwana Art project\, CCDF’s mission is to create a platform for tribal artists to present their work and their perspectives demonstrating their craftsmanship and creativity\, introducing new methods and techniques that express both traditional and contemporary imagery and values. In this initiative\, CCDF promotes artists and their art form that evolves from the dynamic living traditions. This project offers an invitation to the viewer to discover Gondwana region and artists that epitomise the incomparable diversity of contemporary tribal and popular Indian art. \n  \nSundeep Bhandari\, is a New Delhi–based business strategist with over three decades of experience in India’s energy and infrastructure sectors\, and is the founder trustee of Craft and Community Development Foundation. He has undertaken several philanthropic projects and was heading the CSR board of Cairn India Ltd. In this role\, he was instrumental in establishing community support and development projects across the country including the Centre of Excellence for vocational training in Jodhpur and The Enterprise Centre at Barmer ITI. He established Craft and Community Development Foundation with the aim of up-skilling artisans in different fields across India. \nEstablished in 2008\, the Craft and Community Development Foundation (CCDF) is a registered not-for-profit organisation created to support and fund projects that enhance livelihoods for communities in the arts and crafts sector. CCDF’s vision is to undertake initiatives that upskill artisans through the introduction of new concepts and designs while preserving the authenticity of traditional practices and connecting them to new markets. The foundation creates an empowering space that supports specialised crafts by providing training\, introducing innovative design elements\, and developing market linkages. Through workshops and skill development programs\, CCDF works to strengthen artisan communities and improve their overall quality of life. \n\n\nThe Packsaddle Lecture Series invites guest speakers to expound on aspects of Australian and international artistic practices and history\, providing the community with an opportunity to explore themes and ideas related to some of the museum’s key collection areas. \n  \n \n \nEchoes of the Earth: Tribal and Desert Art has been produced in partnership with the Craft and Community Development Foundation\,  Utopia Art Sydney and Papunya Tula Artists.

SUMMARY:Performance: The Sign of the Times
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with the opening of How to Weather Together\, exhibiting artist Henri van Noordenburg and composure Paul Smith will present a live performance in the gallery. \nThe Sign of the Times project takes outcomes and processes from Henri’s visual art practice and Smith’s composition and practice\, and presents them in a performance. Integral to the structure of the work is collaborative improvisation. Each artist responds to the other’s input\, and this in turn affects the performance and finished work. \nBorn in The Netherlands and based in Brisbane\, Henri van Noordenburg is a visual artist whose practice merges photography\, drawing and performance to explore memory\, landscape and belonging. Using a distinctive hand-carved technique inspired by sgraffito\, his works have been exhibited internationally\, including the Manila Biennale and Scope Basel. He has received multiple awards\, and his work is held in major public and private collections including LACMA and NERAM. \nPaul Smith (he/they) is a composer and researcher based in Sydney who specialises in writing opera and music for the toy piano. He is Associate Professor of Music at the University of New England. Paul has held composer/performer residencies in Armenia (2018)\, Italy (2019) and Japan (2024)\, and he was a featured composer of the inaugural Korean toy piano festival in Seoul. In 2022 he received the ABC Composer Commission Fund to compose three new works for toy piano and recorder which were released by ABC Classics. Paul’s traditional research focuses on the politics of singing and the voice and recent publications explore multilingualism in opera. \n  \nImage: Henri van Noordenburg\, Composition XCI Arvo Pärt deck\, 2024. Hand carved ink on Hahnemühle

SUMMARY:Book Launch: A Portrait of Howard Hinton
DESCRIPTION:To mark Howard Hinton’s 159th Birthday we invite you to the launch of A Portrait of Howard Hinton by Margaret Bain. \nWho was Howard Hinton — the man behind one of Australia’s greatest art collections? A Portrait of Howard Hinton uncovers the life of this enigmatic philanthropist\, moving beyond the familiar image of a shy bachelor who gave away his fortune for art. Drawing on Hinton’s long-lost diary and years of meticulous research\, Margaret reveals a vibrant\, generous\, and deeply connected figure at the heart of Sydney’s cultural scene in the early 20th century. \nJoin us at NERAM to celebrate the launch of this remarkable new publication that sheds fresh light on the man whose vision helped shape the very foundations of the New England Regional Art Museum. There will be champagne and cake.

SUMMARY:COSMOGRAPHIES : A speculative documentary film
DESCRIPTION:The struggle for environmental justice against ongoing forms of extractivism and ecological ruin in the Atacama Desert is an allegory against ongoing plans to colonise the Moon and Mars\, where Māori astrobiologist Xuê Noon finds solace in 2051. \nCosmographies is a hybrid film that draws from speculative fiction\, observational and poetic documentary\, Indigenous futurism and Indigiqueer perspectives. It interweaves stories of resistance and environmental justice against extractivism in the Atacama Desert\, Chile\, as an allegory for contemporary plans to colonise the Moon and Mars. Set across 2023 and 2051\, it weaves parallel stories of Lickan Antay land and water defenders\, engaged scientists and fishing communities in Atacama\, with the story of Māori astrobiologist Xuě Noon who finds solace in Mars and slipstreams across spacetime with an urgent message. \nScreening at Belgrave as part of How to weather together exhibition\nFilm is 95 minutes\nQ&A is 30 minutes. Finish by 5.15pm. \nCredits \nDirector\, Cinematographer & Writer (BIO): Juan Francisco Salazar (attending the screening for Q&A) \nWriter & Performer (BIO): Victoria Hunt

SUMMARY:How to Weather Together
DESCRIPTION:How to Weather Together is a multi-artform project that explores how we live with and respond to climate change through the intimate\, daily experiences of weather—both ordinary and extreme. Bringing together illustration\, visual art\, writing\, film\, and participatory activities\, the project invites audiences to consider how the shifting climate shapes our emotions\, behaviours\, and communities. Rather than focusing solely on facts or forecasts\, How to Weather Together encourages reflection\, conversation\, and creativity\, prompting visitors to ask unusual questions and to imagine new habits\, practices\, and ways of being as we adapt to a changing ecological future. \nCurated by Jennifer Hamilton \nArtists: \n Clare Britton\, Rae Haynes\, Horizon Factory (Nina Vroemen and Erin Hill)\, Henri van Noordenburg\, Marissa Betts & Mike Terry\, Tessa Zettel & Susie Nelson\, The Weathering Collective (Tessa Zettel\, Astrida Neimanis\, Jennifer Hamilton). \n  \nCredit: Illustration by Tessa Zettel: G Market Stall from How to weather together: Feminist practice for climate change (Bloomsbury: 2026) \n  \nThis exhibition is supported by Arts North West.
