Emu Swamp Artists Group

The Emu Swamp Artists in the informal name adopted by the Stanthorpe Art Group.  The group has held exhibitions over the past 63 years in Stanthorpe. 

 Members of the group present work which offers a journey through a Eucalypt landscape.  The artwork captures the many elements of a gum tree  - from the momentary and transient effects of sunlight in the bush to realistic studies of details and grandeur.  More information

Connecting

To support the 2009 Peace Festival, Warwick Art Gallery will present a collaborative art exhibition of painting, ceramics and installations.

Paul du Moulin

Paul du Moulin’s great grandfather, Conrad Dornbusch lived in Warwick between 1890 and 1945, and as an architect designed many of the buildings in and around Warwick such as St Mary’s Cathedral, additions to St Mark’s Church of England, the gallery in the Town Hall and many other buildings from Tenterfield to Yangan. He also designed his own home ‘Avalon’ in Glengallan Rd, Warwick, which is still retained by the family.

It is proposed to make a study of the physical aspect of the environment of Warwick, and its relationship to the idea of family connections. The study will be directed to communally enjoyed leisure spaces and public buildings. Special attention will be given to the connections between the built environment and its effects on a community’s sense of harmony and peace. By incorporating some aspects of my great grandfathers building designs and experiences into the pieces I will endeavour to connect the idea of family, art and environment.

Warwick Potters Group

The potters have been invited to create an installation which makes a literal study of the theme "connecting".  Individual artists will also present a selection of their best recent work. 

The Condamine Cultural Arts Mob

This group of emerging indigenous artists will communicate the story of their connections with the past, present and future in paintings, sculpture and digital art.  More Information
