Invitation to an Exhibition
An Art Show in the Barossa
Newly returned Rotarian, Catherine Lawler, has recently taken a leap of faith and decided to host an art exhibition as part of this year's SALA Festival. The festival is an opportunity for South Australia's Living Artists (SALA) to showcase their work and often, their studio spaces. It runs every year, across the State, during the month of August.
Catherine intends for this exhibition to be the first of many and it will launch her shed as an art gallery, which will be known as Barossa Art Space. The gallery will host regular exhibitions of original creative works across a variety of media, with a focus on new and emerging artists.
Opening a gallery was a goal that Catherine shared with her late husband John and she is very pleased to be bringing it to fruition.
This inaugural exhibition is titled "Pieces of Pi" and the exhibiting artists are Kylee Fenwick, Linda Schofield, Doug Bear and John Lawler.
The exhibition will run from 7th to 31 August and the gallery will be open Friday to Monday from 12 pm to 5 pm.
Catherine has invited the Club to a private viewing of this first exhibition at Barossa Art Space. Bill (Fellowship) and Bryce (Vocational) have made arrangements for members to visit the gallery on Sunday 23 August from 1 pm to 4 pm.
During the visit, members will be able to view and discuss the artwork (hopefully with one of the artists), before enjoying some yummy homemade soup and crusty bread rolls for lunch and sharing some fellowship.
The usual arrangements of BYO chair will apply, and volunteers are called for to help with organising lunch. There will be room for off a reasonable amount of off-road parking to the rear of the gallery.
The gallery is located at 36 Siegersdorf Road, Tanunda. It is just past the roundabout, on the southern side of the road, between Dorrien Winemaking and Kuchels.
