After travelling three days with overnight stops at Narranderah and Mildura Sue and I arrived safely at the Broken Hill Art Exchange. In Mildura we visited the Art Vault which is a gallery that also provides a venue for working in studio spaces, has printmaking facilities and artist residencies - the apartments very swish to say the least. We were lucky enough to have a guided tour of the facility and meet Jenny Manning a Canberra artist was in residence at this time. We then headed to Wentworth where we saw the Junction of the Rivers Murray and Darling - took some photos of the junction then further down the river of River Red Gums before heading to meet with the RADO of West of the Darling Region - James Giddey. James was very generous with his time and gave us an overview of the arts and current projects that are happening in the region.
We arrived at Broken Hill at 3pm and were met by Susan and we settled into Studio 2 - sorted out sleeping arrangements after unpacking then headed out to shop. We were then invited to a welcome BBQ alfesco style outside studio 4 for the evening. It was a good opportunity to chat with other artists too. Patrick is a photographer and Jacko is a painter. More details will come later.
