He also took First and Third places for portraiture at the 2017 Armidale Art Prize Exhibition. “Sydney People and Guyra Skies” is Bob Baker’s first solo exhibition.

Freeman House Artists
Freeman House provides programs for adults experiencing homelessness and/or addiction. It is committed to promote positive change in people’s lives. Participants have daily access to an art studio, and attend a session once a week with local artist Kerry Gulliver. Experimentation with different styles and techniques is a part of the program and participants are encouraged to take their own initiative in developing ideas. This exhibition is the outcome of weeks of diligent work in the Freeman House art studio. Many of the artists have had little or no opportunity to produce art, and so are very appreciative (and excited) of the chance to exhibit their work. This has been made possible thanks to the Committee’s efforts at the Armidale Art Gallery. Official Opening 2pm to 4pm, Saturday 27 May 2017. Exhibition continues until 20 June. ALL WELCOME Painting Mates - an exhibition by Lorenne Michel & Joe Sartori
Lorenne Michel & Joe Sartori met at TAFE while studying Visual Art in Armidale. They share an interest in pottery and have enjoyed painting and exchanging ideas while looking after the Armidale Art Gallery on a weekly basis. The exhibition is a collection of paintings by both Lorenne & Joe with some of Joe's pottery as well. Official Opening 6pm Saturday 27 May. Exhibition continues until 20 June. ALL WELCOME |
