DO YOU always understand the artworks that you see? If you don’t, you are not alone!

Would it be helpful to hear the artist talking about the interests and intentions that inform their artmaking?

During 2021, Arts Deloraine plans to facilitate artists’ talk sessions for those interested to learn more about local artists and their work.

You will be invited to various venues throughout the year, to enjoy wine and nibbles whilst hearing the artist talk about their art making practice.

The first event will be with local artist John Parish. It will take place at Trowunna Wild Life Park, Mole Creek, at 6 for 6.30pm on Friday 12 February. Entry is free, wine and cheese by donation.

Androo Kelly, Director of Trowunna, will give a Welcome to Country. John will then discuss his art practice, philosophy and feelings for wildlife, and the joy they give him as he draws, photographs and sculpts whilst closely observing and creating in the wild.

There will be time for questions from the audience and further discussion with the artist.

Arts Deloraine hope you will come to support John Parish, one of our locally renowned artists.
