“Enjoy the Season”, is the current exhibition at Top of the Torrens Gallery in Birdwood. The exhibition was opened by Roland Weight of Riverton on Sunday, April 1st. The exhibition showcases the art work of four Mid North artists who are current members of the Balaklava Art Group.

Ana Tossell’s iconic Australian paintings are vibrant, whilst her delicate unframed watercolours are delightful and very affordable. Valerie Veitch’s brilliant landscapes and still life works are counterbalanced by three delightful portraits.

A new exhibition at Top of the Torrens Gallery called Blending the Arts was opened in January by Birdwood identity, Timothy Sexton, who is well known as a Composer, Conductor and Musical Director.

All the work in this exhibition is inspired by some other art form, and Timothy enlarged upon this by explaining just how entwined all art forms are and how important they are to us as complete human beings.

Recently formed, a small number of artists have been gathering on a fortnightly basis to nurture their skills with the challenge of painting on site.

We will recommence in 2007 once the school year has resumed, meeting on Thursday, February 8th.

Fortnightly morning gatherings will alternate Fridays and Thursdays, allowing a choice for people limited with their time.
