About this Event
The Friends of Lismore Regional Gallery will be hosting a forum to showcase the work of four Artist Run Initiatives in Lismore. The four art spaces presenting include Amarina AARI, Elevator ARI, Flourish and Serpentine Community Art Gallery. The moderator is Claudie Frock.
This is an opportunity to hear about the how the four arts spaces impacted by the 2022 floods have recovered and are back contributing to the artistic and cultural life of our communities.
Hear how these four arts entities are contributing to the recovery, renewal and revitalisation of Lismore. The speakers will reveal how each of these arts spaces is contributing to and showcasing the work of artists from our communities impacted by the floods.
Recovery and building resilience is a hard won achievement. The Friends of Lismore Regional Gallery invite you to join us in supporting the Artist Run Initiatives and the many artists they each support in their ongoing recovery and contributions to strengthening the arts ecosystem of our community.
