Gallery opens Collective Memory exhibition
More than 200 people gathered at the University of the Sunshine Coast Gallery on 30 August for the launch of Collective Memory: Ten Artists of Influence, an exhibition of works by ten leading Australian artists.
The exhibition, which features works by well-known artists such as Max Dupain, Russell Drysdale, Margaret Olley and Ray Crooke, is part of the University’s tenth anniversary Power of Ten celebrations.
Gallery Curator Dawn Oelrich says the exhibition is an excellent opportunity for members of the Sunshine Coast community to learn more about some of our most eminent artists.
“The artists in this exhibition have become internationally renowned for their depictions of the Australian landscape and people,” Ms Oelrich said.
“The Collective Memory exhibition is a chance for people to see these works up close, and gain a better understanding of how these artists have helped shape the Australian identity.”
Collective Memory: Ten Artists of Influence will be on display until Saturday 14 October.
The University of the Sunshine Coast Gallery is open from 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday. Admission is free.
