Year of the Bird: flown away already...

Year of the Bird at Maitland Regional Art Gallery came and went very quickly for an exhibition long in preparation and planning.

We were fortunate to have such wonderful artists participate in the show, generous contribution of texts from Nigel Rothfels and Yvette Watt and a fantastic team at MRAG to make the show such a valuable endeavour. Thanks to Helen Hopcroft, Marian Drew, David Hampton, Emma van Leest, Pamela See, Kate Foster, Merle Patchett, Trevor Weekes, Helen Wright and Vanessa Barbay.
