Opening function Saturday 25th February with drinks at 5pm , official opening at 6. All welcome. The exhibition will continue until March 25 – open during normal gallery hours. The exhibition is called ‘Shadowing Tom’ and is not only about how the old shed at “Newstead” looks now, but describes the impact on this artist following in the footsteps of such an important Australian historical figure.
