Sticking Together Exhibition at SoArt

The Artful 9 is a group of Eurobodalla Shire ladies who share a passion for making mosaic. Emerging from the past two years of Covid-19 ups and downs, The Artful 9 is delighted to announce their latest exhibition - “Sticking Together” - at the SoArt Gallery, Princes Highway Narooma. The exhibition is open for viewing from Saturday 11 to Wednesday 15 December inclusive, 10am - 4pm. Entry is free!

When lockdown restrictions permitted, The Artful 9 (Jan Atkinson, Kim Dent, Judy Gordon, Carol Hellmers, Louise Lander and Vanessa Place) met in each other’s home to reconnect, share a few tears and lots of laughs, and enjoy generous helpings of delicious baked goods. Mosaic techniques, skills and creative ideas were discussed during these sessions, further cementing the friendship between the women. It goes without saying that these past two years have been incredibly difficult for everyone. By hanging in there and supporting each other through the tough times, this group of creative individuals has emerged strong and productive.

The “Sticking Together” exhibition focuses on mosaic, both traditional and modern, using a wide range of materials - stained glass, smalti, tile, re-cycled jewellery, and up-cycled china, to name but a few. Alongside the mosaic pieces are works on canvas by Narooma painting personality, Gary Caldow. “Sticking Together” offers a visually stimulating collection of artwork and decorative mosaic pieces for the home, garden, as well as some stunning wearable art. With Christmas just on the horizon, “Sticking Together” is a great opportunity to buy local and purchase a unique gift.
