THE PORTRAIT PROJECT

Various artists

4 June - 24 July 2022
Cathleen Edkins Gallery

Over a six-month period, ten artists based in Mount Gambier (April Hague, Jane Van Eeten, Angela Hann, Jennie Matthews, Anne Miles, Sally O’Connor, Julia Reader, Bianca Richardson, Christy Wallace and Stephanie Yoannidis) have collaborated to deliver a multi-modal public art project. Seeking to bring people together after the isolation of COVID lockdowns, the project centered on collaboration and sharing knowledge alongside structured day-long workshops led by April Hague and Jane Van Eeten. Here you can experience the work behind the final presentation of the public outcome.

This project was made possible through the City of Mount Gambier Creative Arts Fund 2021.

We acknowledge the Boandik Peoples as the traditional custodians of the land we meet on today. We respect their spiritual relationship with the land and recognise the deep feelings of attachment our First Nations Peoples have with the land.
