SUMMARY:Wonders of HINTON
DESCRIPTION:Experience one of the greatest collections of art in regional Australia with the new semi-permanent display\, Wonders of Hinton. \nThe Howard Hinton Collection is the result of one of the greatest acts of artistic philanthropy and benefaction in Australian history. Between 1929 and 1948 a collection of over 1000 artworks were donated to the newly constructed Armidale Teachers’ College by the retired shipping agent\, Howard Hinton OBE (1866-1948). The collection provides a snapshot into Australian artistic practice in the early twentieth century as well as some insights into this ‘modest and self-effacing’ gentleman who lived in a boarding house in the north shore suburb of Cremorne and is one of the most significant collections of Australian art in regional New South Wales. \nOpening Night Event: Friday 3 February\, 6pm

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.

SUMMARY:WATER: Rowen Matthews
DESCRIPTION:Through 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  \n  \n  \nCredit: Rowen Matthews\, Shadow Dam\, 2025\, oil on canvas

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

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: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). You will also need brushes\, canvas or paper. Heavier papers are better to paint on\, such as 180gsm or higher. I like the medium or rough textured paper. Cheaper paper is OK for experimentation. \nTerms and Conditions\n\nAll bookings for events\, art classes and workshops require payment in full at the time of booking\nA minimum number of 10 students required for classes to proceed\, please book and pay by Thursday 22nd January to ensure classes go ahead\nPlease be aware that once bookings close\, we are unable to offer a refund\nIf the class does not proceed\, you will be refunded any cash amount\nNERAM events have a limited capacity and use a ticketing system. Bookings are essential\nStudent contact details may be passed on to facilitators for communication purposes

SUMMARY:Summer Impressions

SUMMARY:Of Brushes and Light
DESCRIPTION:Of Brushes and Light celebrates the evolution of Impressionism in Australia in the late nineteenth century\, and the impact the en plein air movement had on the portrayal of the Australian landscape. During this extraordinary period of change and independence\, artists discarded conservative customs and embraced the greater freedom of a more bohemian life and outlook.  Liberated from academic and formal traditions\, they created artistic communities\, camps and societies that were brimming with camaraderie\, comradeship and irreverence. Artworks created during this time form a cornerstone of art history in Australia today\, influencing the generations of artists that followed\, and were pivotal in recognizing the extraordinary quality of light\, colour and air of Australian landscape. \nThis exhibition explores iconic artworks collected by Howard Hinton from this period and draws out the extraordinary beauty of many artists less well known from this time. \nImage: Walter Withers\, On the Beach\, (c.1902)\, oil on wood\, Gift of Howard Hinton 1939\n

SUMMARY:echoes & silences: untethered fibre artists
DESCRIPTION:echoes & silences brings together 20 artists from the untethered fibre artists collective\, a group formed over a decade ago to champion fibre as a vital contemporary art form. Known for their inventive\, theme-driven exhibitions\, the collective pushes the boundaries of fibre practice through diverse materials\, techniques and conceptual approaches. \nechoes & silences explores both the tangible and intangible — from landscape and oceans to memory\, emotion and stillness. Across 38 meticulously crafted works\, artists reflect on personal and collective experience\, engaging with themes of family\, grief\, disability\, womanhood and connection to the natural world. Each work maintains its own voice while contributing to a richly layered and cohesive narrative\, inviting audiences to consider how fibre can speak powerfully to our shared human experience. \n  \nuntethered fibre artists inc. is an Australian collective formed over a decade ago to create professional opportunities for fibre artists and to champion technically accomplished\, conceptually rich practice. Working collaboratively around shared exhibition themes\, the group explores both intimate personal narratives and broader social and historical concerns. Using fibre in all its forms — from natural to synthetic\, traditional to technologically advanced — their work embraces diverse processes including weaving\, felting\, printing and stitching. Through open dialogue\, mutual support and strong relationships\, untethered fosters individual artistic growth while producing cohesive\, innovative exhibitions that reflect both personal vision and collective purpose. \n \nImage: Brenda Livermore\, Walking Between Worlds 11\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Intimate Connections
DESCRIPTION:Intimate Connections invites audiences to encounter the NERAM Collections through the powerful relationships that shaped some of Australia’s most significant artists. Rather than tracing art history through movements or styles\, this exhibition tells its story through human connection\, exploring how friendship\, partnership\, and love have influenced creative practice. The exhibition reveals the mutual influence and collaboration that occur when artists work in close proximity\, within shared communities and creative circles. It makes visible the often-unseen exchange of ideas between artists whose lives and practices were deeply intertwined\, demonstrating how creativity is rarely made in isolation. \n  \nImage: Emmanuel Phillips Fox\, The Butterfly\, c.1910.

SUMMARY:Traces: Memory in landscape: Beth MacRaild O'Loughlin & Eveline Chan
DESCRIPTION:Traces explores the notion of trace as memory – a mark or a moment in the landscape that connects a present glimpse with a shadow passing. Each image is a contemplation on the transient nature of our moments and the memories that inhabit these places – of what can be seen and that which is unseen\, leaving a trace that signifies the passing of time and the coexistence of the past in the present. \nTraces brings together two new bodies of work for the artists\, Eveline Chan and Beth MacRaild O’Loughlin\, who have also worked collaboratively on some pieces\, using a range of printmaking and analogue photographic practices. \nPlease use links below to view the Traces catalogue online. \nTraces Catalogue – Works by Beth MacRaild O’Loughlin \nTraces Catalogue– Collaborative Works by Beth MacRaild O’Loughlin and Evelin Chan \nTraces Catalogue– Works by Eveline Chan  \nImage: Eveline Chan and Beth MacRaild O’Loughlin\, Intersections\, 2025 . photogravure print with chine collé

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.

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. It’s a good way to get started. I have on display art books for referencing also. 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). You will also need brushes\, canvas or paper. Heavier papers are better to paint on\, such as 180gsm or higher. I like the medium or rough textured paper. Cheaper paper is OK for experimentation. \nTerms and Conditions\n\nAll bookings for events\, art classes and workshops require payment in full at the time of booking\nA minimum number of 10 students required for classes to proceed\, please book and pay by Thursday 22nd January to ensure classes go ahead\nPlease be aware that once bookings close\, we are unable to offer a refund\nIf the class does not proceed\, you will be refunded any cash amount\nNERAM events have a limited capacity and use a ticketing system. Bookings are essential\nStudent contact details may be passed on to facilitators for communication purposes
