The ocean speaks to each of us differently.  To some it is vast, untamed and free.  To some it represents an underwater world of bewildering beauty and mystery.  To others it offers peace and tranquillity. This diverse exhibition reflects our own responses to the ocean. The creatures, the colours, the landscapes, the history or relationships that we have with the ocean and its life, inform the essence of ‘Oceanic’.

The Chinchilla Potters and Painters Inc is a diversly talented group of art interested creatives, who meet every Friday to practice their skills and take ‘time out’ at the Chinchilla Creative Centre in Mutch Street.  Over the last year membership has grown quickly, particularly in the pottery group. Most of the new members are beginners and the group is delighted that they have put their work in their first exhibition. Friendship, fun and learning is key to the club and welcome new members of all levels of experience are welcomed.

Held across the country from 7-14 July 2024, NAIDOC Week will celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year’s theme chosen by the National NAIDOC Committee, is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud.

The theme honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Lapunyah Art Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Indigenous art from the Chinchilla Community Collection and from public and private collections within our community. Also on display will be a children's art display full of colour and life!

Everyone is welcome to the official opening on Saturday 6 July at 4:30pm. Please RSVP at the link below.....
