Openning 19 Feb

Hi, this is the start of our 2011 programme. I am sure you would agree that experiencing our rich cultural heritage is a valuable experience. This could not be more true than with these two exhibitions. 'Galari Bila' are a group of artists that meet regularly in Cowra. They will be showing paintings, ceramics and will be performing some dances. 'Koori Spirit' is an exhibition of paintings by Joedie Davis, an artist who was originally from the Forster area and is now living not far from Canowindra. As you would expect, Joedies' work is influenced by her coastal heritage as well as her personal journey. This will be a wonderful night with lots of opportunity to meet the artists. Hope to see you here. Bring a friend if you can, why not? Our exhibition openings are so much fun!
You can also find out more about our gallery by visiting our website www.riverbankgallery.com

Reminder for Artists: 'Smalls 2011' peoples choice prize is coming soon and I would just like to remind artists to pick up a canvas so that they can participate. If you would like to join but can't make it to the gallery, please give us a call on 6344 2778.
