Courage to Care

Since 1999, ‘Courage to Care’ has been travelling New South Wales conveying a message of communal tolerance and living in harmony.
Developed by B’nai B’rith, the exhibition emphasises the importance of standing up against racism and persecution, especially in relation to minority groups. This is done by focusing on rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust and the brave people who put themselves at enormous personal risk to save others. Over-ridingly the exhibition celebrates the difference one individual can make. The lessons of these events are as relevant today as they were 60 years ago. School groups will engage with the exhibition through workshops with Holocaust survivors and trained facilitators.

The Potter Travels. Marcos Roa

FOYER GALLERY

An exhibition combining ceramic and photographic work by local artist Marcos Roa. Although ceramics is his first love, Marcos draws on the natural world for ideas, so the photographs accompanying them are both an expression of the artist’s creative output and the source of his inspiration for the ceramic forms. Exploring and recording new environs is a catalyst for fresh creative ideas.

Life and the Landscape. Diana & Laurie De Ville

ACCESS GALLERY

Life and the landscape in all their myriad forms have been the inspiration for husband and wife team Laurie and Diana de Ville. Laurie’s landscapes clearly reflect his deep love of the ‘grand vista’, while Diana’s art demonstrates her passion for the endless parade of life in all its variety. As the choices for inspiration in both cases are limitless, this is but a small range of all the possibilities they both hope to explore in the future

Beautiful Moments. Peter Edward

GREEN GALLERY

When something is so beautiful it takes your breath away, it is natural that we want to hold onto the memory for ever. This exhibition of oil paintings is the artist’s journey to capture beautiful moments when, through luck and timing, the light just for a brief instant transforms the image into a memory. Peter’s hope is for you to enjoy these beautiful moments he has captured and tamed, so they can be remembered for a lifetime.

Simple Alchemy. Marie Lund

FOYER GALLERY

An exhibition of sun-printed photograms of objects from forest and ocean on gelatine/silver coated paper. This ‘printing out process’, where paper is exposed until the image is exposed, has a hundred years of history, yet the process itself gave Marie a great satisfaction and yields images of fascinating tonal texture.

“The most perfect guide is nature. Nature uplifts my spirits.”

Kaleidoscope of Our Life. Giovanni & Maro Tozzetti

ACCESS & GREEN GALLERIES

Since their first exhibition at the Arts Centre, this creative and colourful couple have travelled extensively living in Italy, Cyprus and Queensland over a three-year period before returning to family and friends in Nowra.

This exhibition is the result of their travels, influenced by people, places, cultures and the different environments. “We have been experiencing the everyday life in quite a different manner. We were not seeing images but living them instead. So you see in our work a real Kaleidoscope.”
